Waverley Guides go to the Thinking Day Gala

Last time our Region had a swimming gala for Thinking Day, only one Guide attended so I  was thrilled when four Guides arrived on Saturday. That's 50% of the Company! (Still not as good as the Brownie attendance however)

The theme was Disney around the World.

It was an overcast day and quite cool so three of the girls chose not to swim and one wasn't feeling well so I didn't insist. That left us with one who had a wonderful time in the water.

Later the whole gala moved to land starting with a magic carpet ride where one guide was carried by the otheres.

Then, from China, carrying buckets of water without spilling.

Next was trying to carry a stone or coin with your toes and depositing it in a container.

Finally, From the Lion King (Africa) Pumba and Timone had to catch bugs for lunch, which turned out to be jelly worms tied on a string which one ate without hands.

Overall I think the girls enjoyed themselves and contributed to what Thinking Day is all about.

Thinking Day Gala

This year our Region celebrated Thinking day with a gala featuring Disney around the World. We started with the Thinking Day ceremony where we remembered Guides around the world and deposited our Thinking Day coins into the Pond (that used to be Olaf, but he melted in the sun.)

As it was a coolish cloudy  day and only the most intrepid girls swam, the games were eventually moved to dry land.
