27A Edinburgh Guide Company


Fridays, 6:25 - 8:30pm
For girls aged 10 and upwards

This session has started with 38 Guides, as 9 Brownies have come from three different
Packs and 2 girls have moved from another Guide Company. As a result we have created a sixth patrol and the Pandas, Puffins, Daisies, Poppies and Thistles have been joined by the Penguins!

The 6 new Patrol Leaders are beginning to get organised and each Patrol has started
working on a Go-for-it.

Our 31st October meeting is going to be a Hallowe’en Night. Besides fun and games
the new Guides will be making their Promise and 2 ex-Guides - Paula Wood and
Shonagh McNeill - will be coming along to receive their BP Challenge Badges, which
they completed by the end of last term. Paula and Shonagh will be invited, along with
other girls from all over Edinburgh and their parents, to an evening at EHQ in Melville
Street in December to celebrate their achievement.

November is Gang Show time and we look forward to seeing Emma, one of our Guiders,
in action again.

Also in November we are holding a Body Shop Party. We want to raise money towards
the purchase of a larger marquee so have set ourselves quite a challenge!
If anyone would like to support us by ordering any items do please speak to any of the Guides.
They have all got catalogues now. Orders need to be in before 14th November.
This is a great opportunity to start your Christmas shopping!
