This term has been a busy one for all the Knebworth Guiding units…..

Rainbows said goodbye to their two leaders, Suzanne Hodges and Debbie Blakey in April and we are delighted to welcome Caz Higgins and Lindsay Chapman as the new leadership team. The Rainbows have been doing crafts and games, walking in the woods and making special gifts for Fathers Day. They also celebrated 21 years of Rainbow Guides with a Dolls Birthday Party.

1st Knebworth Brownie leaders Denise Carpenter and Debra Thomas are standing down at the end of this term after more than 25 years service between them. Following a local appeal we have been very fortunate to find a warranted Guider, who lives in the village, to take over the running of the unit from September. The Brownies have been working towards their Wildlife Explorer and Disability Awareness badges and are looking forward to bell-boating at Fairlands Valley later this month.

The highlight of the term for 23 girls from 2nd Knebworth Brownies was a woodland theme Pack Holiday at Wymondley Wood near Letchworth.

1st Knebworth Guides have also had cause to celebrate as Assistant Guider Penny Calver has achieved her Queens Guide Award and Pam Hogg has completed her Guiders warrant. The unit has just returned from a 2 night camp at Harmer Green Woods where 20 girls had fun learning traditional camping and outdoor cooking skills and enjoyed camp fire singing and wide games – yes it all still goes on!

Special thanks to all four retiring leaders for your loyal service to Guiding in Knebworth.
