By Geoff Fisher We heard that the Guides group in Reepham have closed down and thought some girls might like to come to Elmham Guides.
A number of our Guides have written about what they have been up to and what they enjoy:
“Guides is really fun and you make lots of new friends. We achieve cool badges and Go For It’s, which are basically challenges and you then earn badges.
“Where we meet we have a park and during the summer we play there and have lots of fun. We love having cookouts and eating marshmallows over campfires.
“Every year we go on a camp and this year it is Norjam, which is a large Jamboree full of Guides and Scouts, some from the UK and some from other countries: Egypt, Canada, Ireland… The list goes on.
“We went rock climbing before the Christmas break. We have lots of fun and learn important skills.
“We did our first aid training at Chapelfield in Norwich; we also did fire training and map tracking. We stayed the night there with lots of other Guide groups so we got to meet new people.
“Every week we have fun games, learn new skills and do challenges to earn badges. Elmham Guides is amazing!”
