Centenary Countdown

Guiding’s Centenary is fast approaching! What a fantastic opportunity we have to be part of celebrating our dynamic movement that has enhanced so many lives. Since those determined girls first marched into Crystal Palace, guiding has travelled all the way round the globe, with ten million members worldwide, making it the biggest organisation for girls and young women in the world.

With Girlguiding UK, our Centenary is a chance to go all out, push some boundaries, take up challenges, live a dream and remind ourselves and the wider world what we’re really made of. There is a huge variety of events going on, from Rainbows becoming princesses for the day; to Brownie Take Over’s; to Senior Section Stampeding around Europe picking up Charity Challenges and, of course, Guides getting together for a spectacular Centenary Camp with 10,000 members from here and around the world.

(For individual information, please see your Ways to Celebrate magazine or go to www.girlguiding.org.uk/centenary)

Our County is also going all out to celebrate in style and we have already started with the Girlguiding UK: Changing the World projects which are happening all over the County. For more details of what projects are available and how to start if you haven’t already, or if you would like to go ahead with more projects, please visit www.girlguiding.org.uk/changingtheworld - remember to complete your evaluation to obtain your badges.

Our County Centenary celebrations:

Centenary Launch, ‘Launch 100’
A Big Day Out for all called ‘RACE 100’
Camp for Guides and Senior Section (with Brownies and Rainbows visiting for a day) called ‘Look 2010’
County Centenary Finale, called ’20:10 20/10 2010’.

Please see the separate web pages for more details and don’t forget that this is only a snippet of what is going on in the Centenary year – there will be fantastic Divisional and District events all around the County, so keep in touch with what’s going on where through your local teams.
