Throughout the world Ceremonies and ceremonial form part of every heritiage. Guiding is world wide. As such the Ceremonies practiced in Australia is similar to these through out the world. As a nation Australia is making her way to being multi-cultural whilst developing an Australian Culture, it's own Ceremonies and Traditions that are able to be shared and celebrated by all.
Special occasions and a combined heritage are marked by the Nationally recognised Ceremonies.Australia Day, the Opening of Parliament House and Anzac Day are among ceremonies carried out each year by individual Guide Units or the comming together of many Guiding people. Right down to the Guides within a Patrol celebrating the Promise Ceremony of a new Guide..
All the cereminies are important. Having a regognised methodology as to how things are run, commands called, and actions expected or taken makes the running of such an easier job. When a Guide moves on within her Guiding, from one age range to another, more depth to the commpands is given and expected in return.

Australia Day in Melbourne
Australia Day celebrated as a State Event in Melbourne. This event has the Guides carrying a large Australian Flag. For this the day is primarily aimed at the BP's, Queens Guide's and OBPs presented the previous year. The years that I took Guides down who had achieved these Peak Achievement we had a ball. At the end of the march there we were in Government gardens joining in the festivities.
Full Uniform is worn. Take drink bottles full of water and sun hats. Make sure you are well fed before the ceremonies begin.

Australia Day Jan 26th in Hazelood and Churchill shopping Centre.
Starting usually a 7am this local event is now being held at the Hazelwood and Churchill shopping Center. (theory of this is great) As a Hazelwood and Churchill Event it is open to all aged Guiding personal and members. Event permission forms should be handed to the Guide Leader in Charge of the Guides on the day... signed by parent or carrer.
Previous years we have been asked to face paint as an activity while people eat and catch up with friends. Other times there have been odd jobs like the handing out of flags, song sheets, readings, hoisting the flag / color party [with Scouts].
One draw back here is that we usally do not get finalisation of anything until the week before. When we do it will be posted here. So keep an eye out and email us when if you think you are coming.

Multi-tasking
Multi-tasking means by doing something once that something may be used for a mutitude of things. With this in mind there are fifty years worth of activities, events, evaluations, camps, service and all sorts of things that various generations of people have done. See how these things all fit in together.One person may use one event or task for one thing, another person will use it for something else. Try them, alter them, see how they work. Get back to us and make your comments known.
Nov 10th 2010.
This afternoon the theme of friendship was laced throughout the program. The things that were included into today's program were: Flag protocol, making choices (Self Governance), helping someone else (lending a hand (LAH) or service to fellow man), what have we done so far ( Self-governance) what are we going to do (Power-steering, Event-Management),
not being afraid of asking questions, (self confidence) making a combined decision, (peer decision making) doing something from the decision, Preparation for a Guides Own, Doing our own 'Guide's own', Closing the evening with taps.
