Shropshire Way Challenge

Posted by Martin Wynn

The Shropshire Way Challenge is for members of Girl Guiding Shropshire, between us, to walk the entire 200 miles of the newly way marked Shropshire Way between Thinking Day 2020 and Thinking Day 2021. You can do as much or little as you like, every step counts, and all participants can gain a badge for taking part. Some sections are easy, even wheelchair accessible, and others are much more challenging. If you don’t feel confident about taking girls out walking, then experienced leaders will be available to help. The challenge will include an I spy activity and geocaching may also be available in some sections.

Last County Baden Powell Weekend!

Posted by

We held a fantastic final BP weekend at Hodnet Hall in July. We celebrated with 31 girls, took part in a ceildh and had an ice cream van. The girls managed to sleep out under the stars before a badge presentation and our own special badge to commemorate. It was a wonderful event and the girls made many friends. We also said a huge thank you to all our BP team and Debbie Bray the co ordinator.
