If anyone has a Girl Guiding uniform they would like to donate, please let us know.

We have a couple of new girls starting soon and it would be lovely to have some uniform to give them. We don't mind if it's the older style, anything would be greatly appreciated 🩵

The Leeston Guides, Brownies, and Pippins have started back for the year. We've been busy learning about our Guiding centre Sangam for the Sangam Challenge badge. We tried a Mango Lassi and made some Indian inspired art ( mehendi and paper lanterns).

The Guides, Brownies, and Pippins have have had a very busy end to the year and a very busy term 4.

Back in October we had a trip to the Ellesmere Heritage park, and invited the Trefoil Guild out to the Den to celebrate that Guiding started a little over 100 years ago in Leeston.

In November we went to Southbridge pool and had a swim, and have been to Hogwarts camp in Kaiapoi.

December wasn't any less busy. We took out first place for our Santa Parade float. A massive thanks to Roper and Son Ltd in Lincoln for letting us use their giant sleigh and tractor.
Our last adventure for the year was going out in the community singing carols at Ellesmere hospital, St Davids Place, and Abbeyfield. It's a great experience for the girls.

Thanks to our Leaders that volunteer their time. There is lots of unseen mahi in the background, organizing trips, going to training, organizing badges, and activities etc.
Thanks to the parent helpers that volunteer their time too.

We hope everyone has had a great 2025. See you next year for a great 2026.
