1st Melbourn Rainbows From September through to the spring, we have had 12 new Rainbows join us, which is very exciting for us all. This is always tinged with a little sadness as we have had to say goodbye to some of our older Rainbows who have all now moved on to their new Brownie packs. As always, we wish them all well in their next guiding adventure. Over the last few months we have been working towards our Adventure 100 badge, whereby we have to complete challenges within 10 categories to gain 100 points. (This is all part of this year’s guiding centenary.) So far we have made kites, performed a puppet show to parents and friends, completed a torchlight search in the dark and had a sing song round the camp fire. All great fun, I can assure you!One great activity that we all enjoyed was decorating white t-shirts using fabric pens and crayons. Each Rainbow came up with wonderfully unique and creative designs, which not only surprised the leaders, but I’m sure parents as well. Christmas, of course, is always a wonderful time of year for the girls and we had many fun activities arranged, including making Christmas decorations, cards and hats, singing carols and ending with a fabulous Christmas party.January 2010 began with games and songs, a happy start to a promising and exciting new year. Many activities have been planned, but by far the most exciting for our Rainbows will be the Sleepover. We look forward to telling you all about it in our next report.Although we do have quite a long waiting list, if your daughter wishes to become a Rainbow, please call Abigail Roberts, Unit Leader on 01763 261505.
Join us at the Coffee Stop on Saturday 15th May 2010, for our Centenary Storytelling Project. Coffee stop runs from 10.30am – 12 noon at the All Saints’ Community Hall. Girls and leaders from the 1st Melbourn Guides, Brownies and Rainbows would like to meet you and record your stories from your time as a Brownie, Guide or leader, in Melbourn or elsewhere, whether it was 10, 50 or 100 years ago! It’s also a chance for you to meet up with old friends and leaders. For more information contact melbournguides@gmail.com, or phone Hilary on 01763 261443
1st Melbourn Guides Question: What have 1st Melbourn Guides, 10,000 other Guides, and nine chart-topping British pop acts got in common? Answer: we were all at Wembley Arena in October, for a fantastic Guidesonly pop concert. As we continue to celebrate the centenary, we are now working on the special Adventure 100 badge for which the Thursday group have made dreamcatchers and decorated glass candleholders, and we have been on a night hike around Stockbridge Meadows. More energy was expended at an evening of Scottish country dancing, and on another drama-themed evening the girls created wacky advertisements for Guiding, and put on a play: Little Blue Riding Hood. As always, we have done our bit for the community by carrying flags at the Service of Remembrance in Melbourn, and our children’s tombola raised over £70 at the All Saints Christmas bazaar. We provided a Christmas tree for the Meldreth church tree festival, celebrating the Girlguiding centenary with handmade multicoloured images of the trefoil and the number ‘100’. The autumn term ended with a Christmas crafts session,
