Last night at Hackham Girl Guides we focussed on food from different countries as part of the Food Badge.
We started the night with knot practice of reef knots and clove hitch 2 ways.
The younger Bilby Girl Guides unit, aged 5 - 9, decided at the beginning of the term, to make Aussie scrolls (vegemite and cheese pastry), Chinese Fried Rice and Nutella Fairy bread, another Aussie classic. They worked in 3 patrols, with support from Leaders.
The older Groovy Girl Guides unit aged 10 -13, made American style mini hamburgers.
Both units then taste tested all of the food and helped with the clean up.
One of the oldest girls from Nashwauk unit, ages 14 -17, is helping in the Bilby unit as a Junior Leader, guiding name Platypus, is undertaking the Trefoil 3 in Leadership. Platypus researched and ran a food groups game, feedback from the girls was they enjoyed the game, best part was drawing.
Some of the Groovy Guides are heading overseas, interstate, or camp during the next couple of weeks, their challenge while away, is to make note of the different types of food they see/consume and report back.
Bilby Guides finished up the night with some story games, planning for patrol night later in the term, and the girls taking turns leading campfire songs, favourite songs at the moment are Penguins and Fishy song.
Over the last 2 weeks, 2 new girls have joined, 2 visited last night, in the Bilby and Groovy units. Welcome to the Girl Guide family.
We do have some remaining places. Contact to find out more information.
