Without our leaders and helpers there wouldn’t be Girlguiding Ely, so a massive thank you to each and every one of our amazing volunteers this 💙

Congratulations to two of our volunteers who have recently completed the leader development programme! 🎉This covers how to run a unit, provide a great unit programme and support girls to be their best selves. Without our leaders Girlguiding wouldn't happen, so it's brilliant to have two more qualified leaders in our units.

If you're interested in becoming a leader with us, you can find out more here 👉 https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-for-volunteers/learning-and-development/becoming-a-gg-leader/become-a-unit-leader/ or get in touch directly!

4th Ely Rainbows worked together to create their own marble runs. Planners, crafters, builders and testers all had a role to play in each team as the girls learnt valuable leadership skills for the future 🌟

This looks great for any Brownies wanting to do their archaeology interest badge!

The archaeology badge counts towards the Brownie Have Adventures theme award.

Calling all Scouts and Brownies!

Come do your archaeology badge at Ely Museum during Dig It!, our Archaeology Discovery Day, on 26 May!

Cambridgeshire Scouts Archaeology Squad will be attending alongside to help those wanting to obtain the badge.

Discover how archaeologists dig up the past, record what they find, piece together the clues and discover the story in their hunt for history.

No pre-booking required. Included with your standard admission ticket or valid annual pass.

We love the lighter evenings this term – from hikes and wide games to meetings in the park, it's great to be outside having fun with friends!

1st Ely Rainbows have been enjoying the outdoors with a penny hike and a race 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Rangers had a chilled evening this week, getting creative making jewellery in between their exams.

Good luck to all our young members taking exams this summer - from SATs to A Levels, we know you will do your best!
