This week 6th Hinckley Brownies had some spooky themed crafting fun. They made some clay pumpkins, got to decorate some spooky signs and played some fun games too... and of course there was glitter involved ✨️

The Brownies had so much fun, thank you Sweet Pea & Snapdragon

Last weekend 150 Brownies, Guides and Rangers from across Hinckley division, plus their leaders, got adventurous at PGL Boreatton Park. They got to challenge themselves with activities including climbing, abseiling, archery, a giant swing and raftbuilding and had a funtastic time.

Today is the day many members have been waiting for... the new uniforms are here 🎉

They have all been designed off the back of ideas and feedback from our young members to be sustainable, there are many options available and with there not being a set date for the switchover, our members can continue to wear their current uniform for as long as it lasts.

Here is a few items from our new Brownie uniform range modelled by Trixe, a Brownie from one of our units in Hinckley... see if you can spot her on the Girlguiding shop website.

Are you looking for a new adventure and want to make a difference by helping shape the lives of our young members? We have Rainbow units in Barwell, Earl Shilton and Hinckley that are in need of support.

What will you get in return? Full training, guaranteed friendship, a chance to become part of a leading charity for girls and young women, and to help shape the lives of our young members across the division. You can even earn some badges in the process!

If you could offer any support helping girls build their confidence while creating lifelong friendships and learning new things we would love to hear from you, visit www.girlguiding.org.uk to register your interest.

In February, Hinckley division celebrated 100 years of Thinking day and Hinckley Parks Primary School very kindly hosted the event.

Since then the school have been working hard to turn a used bit of the school grounds into a garden for learning and wellbeing. So far they have flower and vegetable beds, a pond, and a magical escape amongst the trees.

We wanted to say thank you for the kindness shown during our event so today the division commissioners met with Mr Farrell, who runs the schools community board alongside teaching year 6, to donate bug houses, bees retreats, bird baths and tables, sensory decorations, squirrel cafes and a big box of vegetable seeds.

We hope the pupils and wildlife will enjoy the new equipment.

Today marks the start of volunteers week, and Girlguiding Hinckley division would like to shout about and thank all the fantastic volunteers in our area.

Without these amazing people we would not be able to give our 500+ young members the opportunities they get, from having a weekly safe space to have fun, as a Rainbow, to an international adventure as a Ranger, and everything in between. 🏕

If you would like to personal thank you to any of our volunteers please post them below and we will pass on your messages.

1st Burbage Guides are excited to be part of the Burbage Community Arts Festival Children’s Art Exhibition on Saturday 2nd May!

This year’s theme, A World of Books & Stories, has inspired our Guides to get creative by exploring the inspiring book Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World, creating artwork based on the remarkable women featured in its pages. From pioneers and leaders to rule-breakers and dreamers, their pieces reflect the courage, creativity, and impact of these influential figures.

We’re proud to share their creativity with the community—come along and see where their imaginations have taken them!
