40 Learning & Growing 1st Myland Guides The Summer term at Guides is always my favourite as we get to be outside! The weather this summer has meant we have had to move a few things around, but thankfully our programme (and leaders) enable us to do that. We’ve been working on our ‘Have Adventures’ theme this term, completing our camp skill builder and building lots of unit meeting minutes towards this theme award. Some of these activities have included creating a camp out of sweets & chocolate, beetle drives, camp cafes, solar simulations, cosmic calculations and lava lamps. We enjoyed an evening out at Lexden Golf Club where we split into two groups. One group took turns on the driving range whilst the other group played mini golf, we then swapped over so everyone had a turn. It was still fun - even if it did pour with rain. We held a board game evening just before half term (sometimes needed when we are packing in the activities). After half term we started work on a carnival badge, as 1st Myland Guides will be attending the Colchester Cultural Carnival in July. The girls designed hats and then realised their creations the following week. Towards the end of June, we had a trip to Mersea Boating Lake for the evening to have fun on the inflatables – all paid for by Bracken’s Jack Petchey award. Such a great evening and I’d highly recommend it for anyone looking for something local to do over the holidays.
