Another one of our wonderful volunteers Lorna/Brown Owl!

In celebration of we're spotlighting our members in various roles across the city.

Meet Lorna, one of our leaders who returned to Guiding last year after a long break.
"I volunteer to give back to my community, to give my life balance and to give girls the wide variety of experiences and opportunities I once enjoyed as a Brownie and Guide. I work full time as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner and enjoy an equally busy personal and family life but I constantly read about “we have no sense of community these days”. I feel strongly that we should all play a part in giving to our own communities using any skills we may have or are yet to discover."

Meet Fiona, one of our mentors and a Brownie leader in South Queensferry.

“The reason I volunteer for Girlguiding is that when I was growing up, Girlguiding was somewhere I didn't need to be classed as different, and I was accepted for who I was. When I am volunteering I feel inspired to encourage the girls to be who they what and have experiences that matter to them and I try to offer them as many of the experiences that I had as a Brownie and Guide that made me to want to share these through volunteering. The skills I have developed through my time in Girlguiding has strengthened my skills which I use when volunteering in my local community."

Happy world thinking day. 4th South Queensferry Brownies had a blast singing songs and seeing WAGGGS centre and what other countries in girl guiding and scouting wear. Thank you GirlGuiding Edinburgh for an amazing afternoon.
Some of the brownies then headed up to the castle however it was to light, if you look carefully you might see the castle pictures have a faint blue light on them.
