the Grandmother of Guides

Our Girl Guides love to play a game where they play in pairs and need to match body parts. :)  I'll explain further below.

The other night, it was down to 2 pairs of girls!  As they ran to match head to belly, Ashlee & Katie were slower than the other pair, so they were required to answer a Girl Guide trivia question:

Who is known as the Grandmother of Guides?

Katie's answer:  Anne

. . . . that would be Anne, our treasurer, who is Ashlee's grandmother!  :)  so we laughed a bit, and then we reworded the question:
Who is known as the Grandmother of Guiding?

ah!

that is MUCH clearer!!

:)

hehe

This is why we love Guides!

now, more about the game:
Girls are in pairs, one at each side of the room.
Announcer calls out two body parts (eg head and belly, or ear and elbow)
The girls run towards their partner and meet in the centre of the room, and they must put the two body parts together.
The last pair to match body parts, is out and must answer a Guiding question.  They then become the announcer to call out the next two body parts.
Hope you enjoy this game!

A Doe, A Deer, A Female Deer ...

Yes, we saw a deer - actually TWO - this morning on our bike hike!

If you look really closely, you can see them.

I don't know why they didn't pose and wait for me to get my camera ready!


And here are the girls (and leaders) with their bikes!
(posing and waiting patiently for the camera!)

64th Guides Visit the Toronto Zoo

Yes, we could see the sunrise on the horizon as we left London in the wee morning hours ....

And it was so worth it!

The zoo was great!
The girls were wonderful!
It was an amazing day!


Watch your email for a link to our picasa web album so you can download the zoo photos. 
And if you have zoo photos, send them to Anne to be added to the picasa web album.

A Postcard from Sangam!

We received a postcard from Sangam!

Sangam is one of the World Centres of WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts).


They said "Thanks" for the friendship bracelets we sent to them!

Let's make more for them!

More Cookie Sales - at One London Place


We took advantage of a PA day and asked if any of the girls could come downtown to sell cookies at One London Place.

Thanks Sifton for giving us this opportunity! We had fun!

Melissa, Taylor, Rachel and Stephanie did a great job in the lobby and in no time at all, we sold out of the cookies we had there!

We still have more cases of cookies, so watch for us - we're coming to sell them!

Door to Door Cookie Sales

Safety first!  We all wore our reflective arm bands. 

 What a successful night!

Thanks girls, for all your hard work - your good manners and politeness resulted in excellent sales.



 Thank you!




And don't forget - we'll be selling more cookies at Sears Masonville on Saturday April 14 from 4 - 6 p.m.






Cookies are $5 a box.

I love that one of the girls determined that the last price increase - 9 years ago - was when she was only 1 year of age!!
