From archery to Quidditch: fun and games with the Guides

By Helensburgh Girl Guide Noelle

Girl Guides Helensburgh has recently welcomed some new members to our group and would love to welcome more!  Welcome Annabel, Anna, Madeleine and Eleanor to our unit.

We have been participating in many activities in last few weeks. In early September, we were outdoors for archery at Karingal Guide Camp at Engadine. I noticed I am getting better every time I go and everyone had fun.

Also, Brogla, one of our leaders, has been teaching us to tie knots. I was very proud of myself when I mastered the reef knot and love learning these new skills.

Our group has been having lots of fun lately planning for our upcoming Harry Potter themed camp and playing Harry Potter themed games. When we had a game of Quidditch at Rex Jackson oval last week no one wanted it to end but when it did end it was on a happy note when Raven, also one of our leaders, gave us an ice block.

Finally, we can’t wait for our next outdoor activity to end the term, a campfire and supper, something we always look forward to!
