Thinking Day 100

To mark 100 years of World Thinking Day (an annual celebration where Girlguiding movements across the world celebrate each other), we're hosting an event exclusively for our members.

In the meantime, we're showcasing our Division and County flags, which will be making an appearance at the event.

The last of our Division flags is Blackford. This area takes in the districts of Summerhall, Powburn and Gilmerton.

🌈 We have Rainbow spaces available at Reid Memorial Church. 🌈

Rainbows welcomes all girls from 4 to 7 years old for play, learning and tons of fun in a colourful, safe space.

Rainbows laugh, sing and make a happy mess (and help clear it up!) as she chooses her way through our programme of activities. Plenty of magic moments: she might become a time traveller, an animal tracker, a pop singer, a stargazer. It’s a wonderful world of adventure, week after week, just for her.

🌈 We have Brownie spaces available at Liberton Kirk (93rd C Brownies) 🌈

It’s full of firsts: she might grow her first plant, cook her first cake, put up (and take down) her first tent, light her first fire, go on her first fun-packed weekend away with guiding friends. With a helpful hand from our encouraging volunteers, she’ll explore her creative side, get out into the great outdoors, and start learning to look after herself, others and the world we live in. There’s something for every girl at Brownies, and plenty of moments she’ll never forget.

🌈 Were you a Rainbow, Brownie or Guide?

💗 Would you like to share the fun you had with our young people?

⭐️ Are you looking for work? - Perhaps start your journey by volunteering.

Not all volunteers are able to attend a weekly meeting - variety of roles from weekly meetings, accounts and computer records, craft prep and planning, perhaps?

☁️ We’re looking for volunteers of all ages to come and help our units in the local area, some of them are in desperate need to be able to run after summer. Message me if you’re interested and have any questions or head straight to the link to register your interest. ☁️
