Last week village Brownies celebrated national baking week. 23 flapjacks, mini cheesecakes, and icing toppers were produced, and the star baker spoon awarded!
Unlike the real GBBO, extra points were awarded for excellent tidying up skills including washing up!

A little look in to what the village Brownies have been up to over the past couple of weeks!

The week before last, village Brownies did the speedy explorers activity as part of our Innovate skills builder. Some brave teddy explorers took on a zip line from the hall. Girls designed their zip line, picked an explorer, and made the carrier, to try and get the speediest decent!
This explorer was so well strapped in they didn’t get to enjoy the view 🫣🤣

And this week the village Brownies visited Bertie West Field for a campfire! The girls cooked chocolate bananas, attempted damper bread, as well as a scavenger hunt and games.

Want to be part of the fun? Drop us a message to find out more about volunteering!

A big shout out to Nicki, who received an award this summer for all her outstanding work in helping Oxfordshire’s Girlguides! 🏆

Here’s what the Oxfordshire County Awards Committee had to say;

“This Girlguiding Award is for a leader who has breathed new life into all aspects of her local Girlguiding units. She is a shining example of what every leader should aspire to. The local units have benefitted from her leadership, organisation and collaboration in all her girlguiding roles. She is a much-valued member of the leadership team.

She has been the driving force behind community events. As a result, Girlguiding members in the District have had opportunities to participate in the local carnivals and the units gained support from local businesses for fund raising activities. Funds raised were used to provide trips for the units and parents reported how much the girls enjoyed these outdoor events.”

Well done Nicki! A massive thank you on behalf of Oxfordshire’s Girlguides!

2nd Benson Rainbows had an unforgettable time at their circus skills workshop on Monday. From the moment the session began, the room was buzzing with excitement as the girls threw themselves into learning a whole range of new tricks.

Paul, our instructor, was engaging, fun, and absolutely fantastic with the girls. Their enthusiasm was infectious and within minutes, the Rainbows were eagerly trying out new skills, cheering each other on, and proudly showing off what they’d learned.

By the end of the session, the girls were brimming with pride and eager to perform their new talents for anyone who would watch. It was a wonderful to see how quickly they grew in confidence.

1st Benson Guides enjoyed their annual bike ride over to Warborough and back.
It was a perfect evening to enjoy the playground and a few snacks too!

1st & 4th Benson Brownies spent the weekend on board the Falcon Adam narrowboat!
The girls worked the locks, swing bridges, and had the opportunity to steer the boat.
The leaders also had an amazing time, best residential ever!

Come along and join us on Saturday 16th May at Benson Parish Hall as we celebrate our amazing local community!

We’ll be there with a stall full of delicious homemade bakes, and plenty of friendly faces ready to welcome you.

Whether you’re curious about your daughter becoming part of Girlguiding, or interested in lending a hand as a volunteer, we’d love to have a chat and tell you more about what we do.

Pop by, say hello, and help us keep guiding thriving in our community!
