This evening, 1st Kidlington Guides had a visit from Cllr Sean Gaul (Head of Office for Calum Miller MP and Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet Minister for Children and Young People). He talked about his role and the work of Calum Miller. The girls asked excellent questions, especially around a potential social media ban. We explored everything from potholes to the giant waste pile. We will be following this session up by taking action to influence what matters to the girls.

Happy World Thinking Day.

Happy World Thinking Day! 💙

World Thinking Day is a celebration of 10 million girls worldwide that has taken place on every 22 February since 1926 - making it 100 years old today! It remains a day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to think of each other and celebrate their communities all around the world.

We'd love to see how you're marking World Thinking Day on its 100 year anniversary - share your stories and photos with us in the comments!

Take a look at how we've celebrated over the last century and read a special message from our Patron here: https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/what-we-do/blog/15-ways-world-thinking-day-has-been-celebrated-over-the-last-100-years/.

Well done everyone.

Tech rehearsal = done ✅
Dress rehearsal = tomorrow "eek"
First performance = Tuesday "yay"

And a big 'happy birthday' to our Deputy Director & Choreographer, Stephy Ellen .

This was yesterday, during a Dance Team huddle (with gifts from the team and a pep talk from the lady who has inspired so many of them).

We even recorded a 'get well soon' to one of our team members who is recovering from surgery.

This dance team has worked so hard on learning some really complex routines - our Sunday mornings have been tough at times, but always a giggle. And we got there together.

And remember, keeeeeeep dancing!!!

(Which night are you coming to see us?!?)

Here at Lincroft Meadow we all enjoyed a lovely visit from our friends from 1st Kidlington Guides yesterday evening.

The Guides treated residents to a wonderful evening of Bingo. They donated some fabulous prizes and very quickly mastered the art of Bingo calling.

Thank you so much to all involved, it was fabulous to see you all and you are very welcome at Lincroft anytime!

📸 They say a picture tells a thousand words… but sometimes it tells the wrong ones.

👉 This isn’t defeat.
👉 This isn’t “never again.”

Here’s the truth 👉 this is JOY. Pure, unstoppable joy after smashing a fear, reaching the top, and proving to herself that she could. 💪🌟

That’s the magic of Girlguiding. 💙
We break the mould.
We face the wobbly-knee moments.
We surprise ourselves with what we can do.
And yes… sometimes the best way to celebrate is lying flat out on the floor, grinning from ear to ear.

Because being our best selves doesn’t always look picture-perfect — but wow, does it feel amazing. ✨

💡 Want to see your girl discover her best self? Or fancy cheering others on as a volunteer? Come join us 👉 https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/what-we-do/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21674942854&gbraid=0AAAAAC7kpeLor5PiyNMw8bjf9VQ3UIwKn
