so as i said last post i'll explain my personal history in girlguiding, hopefully without being too boring lol.

i started in rainbows and have continued through all the sections, i did end up falling out of it for about a year as my rangers leader moved away and our unit disbanded, which was only a few months after we had made it. however, i then started volunteering for my old brownies unit and started my young leader qualification which was unfortunately interrupted by covid so it took me just under 2 years to complete it and become fully qualified.

last september a friend of mine who is an explorer in scouts as me if i wanted to come with him and a few others to germany for their explorer belt expedition, which of course i said yes the only issue was that i needed to be an active member of girlguiding if i were to accompany them on it and young leading didn't count. so i joined a different local rangers unit and have been with them for the last few months. i think volunteering for brownies rather than doing it for myself has definitely changed my perspective on girlguiding and the effort leaders put into their units (big thanks to any leaders that might see this), but most of all i've missed doing badges and committing myself to something that's not academically related, and having small sort term achievements to aim for, like badges, has made me more motivated to commit to long term things, like my a-levels which is a massive jump form gcses.

i'll do some shorter post of the badges i currently have for rangers as well as the ones i'm planning to get before i turn 18 and leave, but my next post will probably be some general updates about school and how my alevels are going.

An Adventure of a Lifetime

An Adventure of a Lifetime

~An adventure of a lifetime~

This was the tagline used to advertise Poacher Jamboree back in 2017. I’d always wanted to take part in a Jamboree but they were all so far away and my Guide units just didn’t do them. That was how I found myself staring at the sign up page for volunteers, wondering whether I could actually do this all by myself. I signed up almost on a whim, entering in my meal…

Just a quick doodle based upon this year's Thinking Day theme. What will Girl Guides (or in this case, Brownies) look like in 100 years. Might do Girl Guide age next. One of the ideas mentioned plastic and how we need to reduce it from the environment. Think there was also a drawing one of the girls did similar to this style - hence the art direction. In 100 years it is customary for every Guiding and Scouting unit to use at least half an hour of their meeting time clearing away any mutated pollution such as rubbish or even stray atmosphere mutations (think MLP where they bust away the clouds etc). Should in this future time you walk down the street, you'll recognise instantly those whom are apart of the Guiding movement. The girls are super speedy as more pollution gathered = points and the pack with most points wins a prize. Rainbows stick only to ground and only around their meeting building. Brownies are allowed slightly further afield and are allowed, with the use of their hover scooters no more than 1.5 meters off ground (strictly wearing a helmet and protective arm and knee pads). Critique welcome - though be nice! #brownieguides #brownies #girlguidinguk #girlguiding #sketch #thinkigday #guidingofthefuture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwy9SDKgk1k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=613zrcdc8x76

Exploring the Coast!

Back in July, I finally did my exploration for Queens Guide. I decided to look into the development of coastal towns near the lake district: what they used to be like, how things had changed, and what they’re like now. We looked at Silloth, Maryport, Allonby and Workington, and it was just an incredible experience. Investigating Maryport lighthouse #notamodel I got to learn all about the…
