Thank you to all our leaders who as well as working full time, give up their evenings and weekends to give all our young members some of the best opportunities!!
💙✨ THE REAL LEADER PROMISE
(A brutally accurate, lovingly chaotic, and completely relatable)
I promise that I will do my best…
😂 To look calm and organised even when three girls are singing, two are arguing about who invented biscuits, and one is wearing a bin bag as a cape.
😂 To pretend I definitely planned tonight’s activity and did not improvise the last 20 minutes using only pipe cleaners and hope.
😂 To locate missing neckers, water bottles, and the occasional child using nothing but instinct and leader telepathy.
😂 To answer questions such as:
— “Can sharks blink?”
— “Can I marry my cat?”
— “Why does the moon follow me?”
…with grace, wisdom, and a completely straight face.
😂 To accept that glitter is permanent, craft glue is immortal, and the lost-property box is now my second home.
😂 To keep smiling when the phrase “We didn’t do it!” is shouted before anything has actually happened.
😂 To stay patient, even when someone insists they don’t need the toilet… right before we leave the building.
😂 To survive camp on 4 hours of sleep, 1 biscuit, and pure enthusiasm.
😂 To remember that “five more minutes” in Guiding time actually means “half an hour and possibly a spontaneous talent show.”
And most importantly…
💙 To show every girl that she matters, she’s capable, she’s brilliant — and that the world is better when she’s in it.
(Even if she’s currently tangled in the parachute.)
This is our promise.
Our chaos.
Our joy.
Our Guiding life.
And honestly?
We wouldn’t change a single ridiculous, wonderful moment.
💙✨ Tag a leader who lives this promise every week!
