Swapped over 30 birthday cards with other Rainbow units in Great Britain and abroad. Been on a Rainbow sleepover and had a teddy bear themed one in October. In meetings have made promise badges jars, a new Rainbow for our promise ceremonies, flower fairies, edible necklaces along with learning new songs and games. On a walk along the Cuckoo trail from Hellingly made journey sticks attaching items found to a stick. September they made pizza, yoga, completed their Hats Off challenge. Brownies have been outside at Bull River to work on their RSBP challenge followed by a campfire with s’mores. Done the chip walk along the Cuckoo trail with the Guides following a photo trail. Summer sport led to the agility badge. Mr Elf Owl helped do a session on planes, including paper aeroplanes. Cooking of cakes as practise for their cake stall and entries into the local horticultural show. In June piloted and gave feedback on Influencer Skills Builder for the new Brownie Programme. The summer saw an activity day shelter building and a camp with other local packs up at Bull river. September tried out more of the new programme, food and badges. Guides have focused on food the last term planned, cooked and washed up a main meal and pudding supported by a trained chef. Completed the Chocolate go for it: compared chocolate, designed their own wrappers and did a chocolate quiz. Organised a 70th Birthday party with party food and games.
