SPCA visit for community service

The Court of Honour had decided that as our good turn we would visit the SPCA and help out.   Unfortunately not many of our Guides could make it on a Saturday morning.   Two had other commitments, one was going overseas but on Saturday three Guides attended the volunteer day of the Sandton SPCA.   After an introductory talk the girls got to interact with the animals.

The girls had a wonderful time playing with kittens and puppies.

Crafts, Cookery and Camping

As part of our Inspirations Adventure, the Guides decorated T shirts for camp.   They were given paints in tubes and brushes to do their own thing.

The following week was supposed to be patrol dinners but only one patrol got it organised.   However three girls did pass their cook's badge.

Just before the end of the term was the regional camp, attended by 3 Guides (and 2 Guiders)

Putting up tents was relatively easy.

After supper it was stalk the lantern which everybody enjoyed.
The theme of the camp was Frozen so on Saturday we had a themed wide game.   One of the bases was to make ice cream in 2 ziploc bags.

On Saturday afternoon it rained.   And rained.   And rained.

When lightening arrived as well the girls all went into the hall to play games while the Guiders formulated plan B for supper.   Plan A was for each patrol to make their own fire and cook their meal in individuals tin foil packages on their patrol fires.   

Instead Panda and Gummi Bear made a huge fire in the fire pit in the kitchen and all the parcels were cooked on it.

After supper the rain stopped sufficiently for us to have a campfire and then it was back into our tents (some of which had to be mopped a bit.)

Rain continued to fall during the night but the girls were cosy in their sleeping bags.

well done to all the Guides who survived a rainy camp.   A Guide hasn't camped until she has camped in the rain!
