Sightseeing or shopping, lunch and then crafts on the train home. What a wonderful group of young people I have spent the weekend with!

A trip to Wicked, learning to navigate the underground, and staying round the corner from St Paul’s Cathedral have been today’s excitements. Now hopefully bed and sleep!💤

St Paul Cathedral- too close to see the dome

A wonderful night at Stirling Gang Show tonight- great to go along to cheer on “our” Katrina, and now have some girls who’d like to join next time round 😀

Last week some of the Guides made pronoun badges. One of our leaders has to leave, because how can she stay in Guiding who have kicked out trans girls when her daughter is trans, and some of the older ones want to write to GGUK to complain. We are doing some other work around equalities too.

5 pin badges with she/her and various decorations on them

The Guides had a great time at Stirring up Stirling today, with girls from all over Girlguiding Forth Valley Temporary tattoos were popular, and they enjoyed rolling down King’s Knot, but the Taylor Swift tribute finale was pretty impressive too @girlguidingscot.bsky.social

Guides and Rangers went rafting building and did the leap of faith yesterday. So proud of them all for giving things a go even if they are out of their comfort zone. 10yo Guides telling the (15-18yo) Rangers how to build a raft was fabulous- no lack of confidence there.

A night at St Andrews Church, tending to our little free library and pallet planter. We did some weeding too. I think some new upcycling will be needed next year as the pallet is getting more and more wobbly!

A little free library, in an old bedside table on stilts. The outside is blue and red gloss and the inside has a selection of books

A planter made from an old pallet. It is in 2 shades of green with a wooden base. There are 4 layers of plants, and a faded sign saying 1st Callander Guides

All set up ready to go. The posters the girls made have photos of Callander Guides and Brownies going back to 1963!
