Helensburgh Girl Guides proud to make their Promise

By Kinya Donnan of Helensburgh Girl Guides

Earlier this year, seven of our unit members made their Promise with the help of their fearless leader Brolga and our most experienced unit member Liana.

Brolga and Liana planned a circus-themed Promise Ceremony where the girls had to take part in two exciting tasks – walking a tightrope while blindfolded and taming a ferocious lion – before jumping through the ‘Hoop of Fire’ and making their Promise.

All six girls have worked hard in the lead-up to making their Promise, taking part in many Girl Guide activities designed to teach the girls what it means to be a Girl Guide, and how as Girl Guides, they can become compassionate and responsible citizens in their community and the world.

Many of our Guiding parents and other family members were in attendance to watch their girls make their Promise. The girls were so thrilled to have them all there and it was lovely to see so many proud parent faces.

The Unit Leaders would like to extend a special thank you to both outgoing and incoming parents who have taken up roles in our Support Unit. Our unit could not operate without you.

Lastly we would like to extend a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Isla, Bella, Josie, Noelle, Annabel, Anna and Madeleine on making their Girl Guide Promise. We know you will be exceptional Girl Guides and we look forward to supporting you throughout the rest of your guiding journey.
