Guides attracts 25 girls for a 'snippet' of the experience

The Come and Try Guides day held by Blackwall Girl Guides in May attracted 25 local girls and their families.

District manager Ms Belinda Player said: "There were activities for the girls to experience on the night to give them a taste of what they'd be getting up to if they joined Girl Guides.

"We had campfire cooking, knot tying, terrarium making, cup cake decorating, making good turn beads, First Aid training and crafts.

"We also taught our guests a little about our Guiding traditions," Ms Player said.

"There were leaders and managers from surrounding Guide Districts to help Blackwall District Leaders on the night as it was a very busy evening finishing with a supper of sausage sizzle, cooked by some members from the Rotary Club of Woy Woy and homemade soups.

"The girls enjoyed experiencing a snippet of what Guiding has to offer and many have returned in recent weeks seeing membership increasing for both units in the District," Ms Player said.

Blackwall Guides meet Mondays during school terms, with meetings for Junior Guides (six to 10 years) and Guides (10 to 14 years).
