We hope you are enjoying the Summer break - even if the weather isn't really summer- like!!
We want to wish all those going on Camp and Holidays that the weather improves, and that you have a great time; and for those who have already been, then we hope you enjoyed yourselves and the weather was kind to you. For international travellers we hope you have a great time too and don't forget to send in some photos please!
We’re sure you haven’t missed the Olympics on our televisions over the last couple of weeks - hasn't been it been amazing?!! It’s been fantastic to see so many young women competing and winning; a real inspiration to all our girls and young women!! And if you managed to get tickets to see some of the events we are sure that you really had a fantastic time, and we’re looking forward to hearing about your experiences.
Somerset North has quite a few volunteers at the Games, so we’re sure they will have some great stories and lots of photos. If you have any photos of the Olympics, please send a few to Patric; we would love to see them, and maybe use some!
September is fast -approaching and we will be back in our Units for the Autumn Term - keep your eyes on the County Calendar for events coming up - such as the Paralympics Trip, Brownie Arts Day, and of course County Day in October.
Thank you to all of you who work so hard for our girls, for the wonderful opportunities they are offered, and all the activities they take part in - keep up the good work - because without you, we wouldn't have the girls.
Karen and Sue

About 240 Guides from across Somerset North attended the Outdoor Day at Woodhouse Park, undertaking a variety of activities that they had chosen, anything from pioneering, Its a Knockout, archery, abseiling and climbing, adventure course, crafts, karate, dance, photography, to name but a few! We even had our own Olympic challenge for the girls to take part in. The "food" activities were very popular with cardboard box cooking and fun with fires, and many enjoyed the circus skills activity. It was mostly rainy on the day, but the girls never the less very much enjoyed many, many outdoor activities.
As a first this year we did several sessions where the girls could actually work towards and gain a Guide badge if they wanted to chose that option - Agility was covered over a couple of sessions, and the Outdoor Cook Badge was done over the whole day. We had quizzes at lunch time and the day ended with a big campfire.
The County Indoor / Outdoor Activities team along with many other helpers organised and ran the Outdoor Day for Guides across the County. Thanks to everyone that help out, organised and ran activities. This was very much appreciated by Alison (Outdoor Activities Coordinator) and members of her team.
