Chinese Whispers

Starts of with one whisper saying something to one person and then person two saying what they thought to someone else.  by the time the original person hears back the whisper has turned from a whispered confidence, to gossip then into a juicy fact and onto known history.

Throw in some diversionary whispers and see how confusing the whisper gets before it get back to the original whisper.  How many different version now need to be investigated to get back to the original source?

Elbows in, Knees bent, Toes together, Buns back

Chest out, Chin down, Tongue out

Taps: evening

Day is done,
Gone the Sun.
From the seas.
From the hills,
From the sky
All is well
Safety rest
God is neigh.

Checked out the Four World Center Colors

The Four World Centers are part of the links of Unity between all the WAGGGS countries.


each world center has a different color and logo.

Samgam is Purple.              
Our Cabana is Orange.          Pictures
Pax Lodge is Green              
and Our Chalete is deep blue

The world within WAGGGS is divided into different regions.

Checked out Brownslea Island, Poole, England

In 1907 the man now known as Lord Baden-Powell needed an island in which to conduct an experimental camp.Of all the little islands in and around the United Kingdom  Brownslea Island was the one chosen.

A selected group of boys attended this camp.Four Patrols were organised, each with one Patrol Leader and four other members.

Each day of the Program had an over all topic to cover.  The days were divided into manageable time tables, following a set time management flow.  The boys could then know what was to come next and plan accordingly.

At the end of the camp and evaluation was completed and Lord Baden-Powell then made his camp report.  The then King George the fifth had encouraged the camp experiment.  So the report would have been made and given accordingly.

Clean Up Australia

The actual Clean Up Australia national cleaning day lands on what ever the 1st Sunday of March each year is.

Traditionally the Hazelwood and Churchill Girl guides have concentrated their efforts either around the Glendonald Park [the playground and BBQ area] or the Hazelwood South Hall.

Over the years it was found that the youngest Guides got easily bored with the whole thing after about one half hour.  The older Guides got distracted after about one to one and a half hours.  So now there is a flip side to the service activity.

Coinsiding with the day is a Teddy Bears Picnic and Activities in the Park (about one hour worth).  Usually the Teddy Bears picnic starts at just after morning tea time.  And the Activities begin about three quarters of an hour later.  This way the youngest ones can go back to cleaning up the Park or just progressively make their way over to the Activities in the Park.

needless to say to have these activities going on there needs to be Adult volunteers.  Please feel free to speak to the District Leader and ask for the necessary plans, paperwork and other District Team Members participation schedules.

Catching up on all these activities might be easier when you are invited to 'meet' with others with the District Facebook group.

Older Guides fundraising with a 'make a craft stall'

The Churchill Girl Guides read about a challenge the 1st Cairns Ranger Guides did some year previously. Their challenge was that the 1st Cairns Ranger Guides (14 to 18's ) had set up a craft day. Sounded like they had so much fun on this day that the Churchill Guides wanted to copy their endevours.

So as the 1st Cairns Ranger guides did so to did the Churchill Guides. Since there were fewer Churchill Guides able to help their were fewer tables to be set up.

- Cairns set up about 25 different crafts and the materials tables, Churchill set up six tables.

- Samples of the finished craft were needed. Churchill looked around the hall, the office and their homes to see what was cmpleted and still there.

- The Churchill Guides found that they wanted to try something on another table. Off they went leaving no one who knew what to do at their table. Off course they were constantly being called back to assist someone else.

- Since everything was there on hand theCghurchill guides only charged $1.00 not the $3.00 the 1st Cairns ones did.

- The girls did as many crafts as appealed to them. The variety meant there was something for everyone.

- The same crafts the 1st Cairns girls used the Churchill ones offered too. The crafts included:

Egyptian beads,

paper making,

paper marbling,

3D cards,

Australian animal mobiles,

wool people,

trefoils made with the plastic rings from two litre milk containers,

crystal gardens,

book making.

Everyone had a lot of fun mixing together and doing their best at having nimble fingers fully occupied. Yes there was a bit of money made as well.

A few years later some of the then younger Girl Guides were older. Instead of having another craft day they wanted a market to happen.
