💙 HAPPY VOLUNTEERS’ WEEK! 💙

A tribute to the volunteers who regularly perform miracles that would concern medical science.

To the leaders who can:
🎒 Pack a minibus.
🏕️ Build a campsite.
🔥 Light a fire.
🎨 Run a craft.
🩹 Administer first aid.
💰 Manage a budget.
📋 Complete seventeen forms.
📞 Contact thirty parents.
🎵 Lead a campfire.
😴 Function on four hours of sleep
…all before their first cup of tea.

To volunteers who have spent an entire evening preparing an activity, to be greeted with:
“Do we have to?”

And then twenty minutes later:
“That was the best thing ever!”

To those who have developed the supernatural ability to hear:

“Leader…” from over 300 metres away.
Usually at a volume that could be heard from space. 🚀

To the volunteers who have somehow become:
Part-time teachers
Part-time counsellors
Part-time event planners
Part-time chauffeurs
Part-time detectives
And full-time experts in locating items that were “definitely in my bag a minute ago.”

To the leaders who have crawled under bunk beds, untangled necklaces, comforted girls, rescued burnt marshmallows, fixed broken costumes, sewn on badges at midnight.

To the people who have willingly spent their free time covered in mud, glitter, paint, sun cream, campfire smoke and mystery substances that nobody can identify.

To the volunteers who know that a successful evening meeting is approximately:

10% planning.
20% organisation.
70% controlled chaos.

And somehow still turn it into magic.

Because while the girls remember the adventures, the laughter, the friendships, the camps, the challenges and the memories…

They rarely see the late-night emails
The risk assessments
The endless spreadsheets
The emergency runs to buy more biscuits
The 11pm panic that you’ve forgotten something important
That’s what leaders do.

So this Volunteers’ Week, thank you to every single volunteer who gives their time, energy, patience, weekends, annual leave, car boot space, sanity and occasionally their voice.

You are the reason girls believe they can do anything.

Even when you’re not entirely convinced you know what you’re doing yourself. 💙

🐝 What a wonderful evening we had at Grove Vale Rainbows and Brownies last night. We got up close with some bees, found the queen bee, got to try out bee keeper equipment and even got to taste some delicious honey ! Each and everyone of us including leaders learnt something new. We all had a great time and we want to say a big special thank you to Faith over at Brummie Honey for our very special visit. 🐝

Best camp disco move?
The full‑energy Guide
The enthusiastic but chaotic one

The ‘I’m just here for the snacks’ dancer

There’s no right way to dance — just your way 💙
