Your Leaders.

Rebecca

Lucky us to have Rebecca join us in 2015-2016. We're happy to have her join our team!!

It's time to get to know her a wee bit better.

Here are Rebecca's answers to our questions.

Three things you have done as a member of Girl Guides:
1. traveled to Costa Rica!
2. learned how to backcountry camp!
3. made awesome friends!

Three foods you tried because of Girl Guides:

Three things about Girl Guide camp: 1 you love, 1 you hate, 1 you dream of!
Hate: When the girls go to bed late!!
Love: when it rains at night and you can hear it against the tent.
Dream: When the girls go to bed early and then also sleep in! :P

Three crafts that you'll never do again: any camp craft that is not useful or lacks a practical purpose. I dislike knick-knack crafts.

Three activities that were amazing:
1. Representing Girl Guides in Costa Rica
2. being a leader
3. star gazing while canoe tripping

Three things you own "just for Girl Guides":
1. camp blanket with badges and crests
2. rain pants
3. Dry sac

Three things you'd tell someone if they thought they might want to join Girl Guides:
1. It is awesome!
2. It's not the same girl guides your grandma was part of.
3. The leaders make the difference and are the reason many girls stay in girl guides.
