♡My 'Magical Kingdoms Challenge Badge'...Update♡

Dear Reader,
DISCLAIMER: ALL RIGHTS TO THIS BADGE BELONG TO 1ST ST SEBASTIAN BROWNIES, ALL INFORMATION AND PHOTOS HAVE COME FROM THE CHALLENGE BADGE PACK THEY HAVE CREATED AND GUIDING CHALLENGE BADGE FACEBOOK GROUP!!!


~

So, as you may know, the originally plan was to have completed this badge by the end of the Easter Holidays (Sunday 15th April) and I aimed to complete 45 activities. Well... I HAVE FAILED! No doubt about it, I have failed rather impressively. I have only completed around 25 activities so far, and have started a 26th. 

So, I think I should probably explain myself... I am a college student, a babysitter and a very, very sleepy person! I spent my Easter holiday trawling through a lot more than 2 weeks worth of homework (Thank you teachers), earning money, and sleeping. I managed to make some chocolate truffles, accidentally, for a different badge, and then realised it was one of the activities for the Frozen section. I also started reading Mary Poppins by P.L.Travers and made a marshmallow monster - which turned into more of a marshmallow robot!


I will be the first to say, I'm disappointed. I don't really feel I'm worthy of the badge yet, so I'm going to keep going until I get to 45! Whilst my initial challenge did not go to plan, I'm going to continue to work towards the badge, with less time constraint, as I have exams coming up (eurgh) and I am far from a creative genius - so craft can be a challenge. 

I am determined to feel that I have done something challenging enough to earn the badge, and I am enjoying doing it, to pass the time between college work and expanding my love of Disney. Hopefully, by not restricting myself to a time limit, I will be able to achieve more. 

I promise that I will do my best, to be true to myself and develop my beliefs, to serve the Queen and my community, to help other people and to keep the Guide Law,
Yours, 
The 16-Year-Old Brownie

♡World Thinking Day, Chinese New Year and Breaking Free... a February round-up♡

Dear Reader, This month has been an exciting one in the district. Most importantly we have enjoyed celebrating World Thinking Day - with units completing their own activities and discussions about the meaning behind the day - all topped off with a joint sleepover between some of our units. WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts) selected this year's World Thinking Day theme as LEADERSHIP . We interpreted this by naming our sleepover groups after key figures/leaders in Guiding, such as District Commissioners, Division Commissioners and WAGGGS themselves. We held our sleepover at our local meeting place on the 22nd (thinking day itself) and had over 20 girls attend from across 4 different units, including 2 of our young rainbows. The girls got to enjoy a rotation of activities including knot tying, tent building, cheese rolling, making rings out of pringles and a snow ball fight with tissues to finish. As well as the district leaders, the girls got to...

♡Easter, First Aid and some 'Time Travelling Rainbows'... a March and April Round-Up♡

Dear Reader,  So,I'm 2 months behind...again.. which appears to be my usual. And every time I forget to do things I blame it on college.. however, A levels really are looming now!!! I'm definitely excited for study leave followed by a part time programme - I'll have lots more time for things I enjoy, like writing, reading and for working on my ALQ, and ranger badges. However, the lucky thing is that you're getting 2 months in 1... can't argue with that. March was FUN-FILLED, PANCAKE PACKED & FUNDRAISING FANTASTIC!!!   One of the highlights of that March was our fantastic Rainbows and Guides fundraiser, including a huge raffle, jar tombola, and stalls from local sellers, such as fudge and homemade crafts. The evening raised a total of £267 (£133.50 for each unit) to help buy resources and carry on the opportunities for the members.  Our district members enjoyed many exciting opportunities - including our 4 Brownies sixers taking a trip to the...

♡Eaton Vale - Brownie Pack Holiday 6-8th July 2018♡

Dear Reader,  Last weekend we took 16 Brownies to Eaton Vale Guide and Scout Activity Centre, to experience some of the activities on offer as well as the activities we had organised ourselves. The programme for the weekend was packed full of outdoor activities, crafts and really, really good food! 🍔🍦 Friday 6th July After a failed Tesco delivery and an emergency trip to Tesco to cater for 21 people for the weekend, which is 2 scarily full large trolleys.... the fun was underway! After settling in and eating our tea, we embarked on a very complicated, slightly unclear orienteering trail that I in no way understood, and myself and Eagle Owl wandered around along with about 10 Brownies, in the wrong direction quite a lot of the time! #fail Skittles, the unit bear! The evening was then spent popping our heads repeatedly into the corridor to ask why the Brownies weren't in bed and going to sleep very late, of course! Thank goodness for the 'snug'...
