North Somerset County Day for Guiders

Fairtrade fits in well with the guiding ethos (see below) and it is a subject that the movement is keen for all its members to learn about.

There will be a fairtrade stall throughout the day. Debbie will be giving a short talk to encourage guiders to include fairtrade in their programmes. Ideas for meetings will also be available on the stall.

What is guiding?

Being a Rainbow, Brownie, Guide or member of the Senior Section is lots of fun and a great way of making friends. …
But there's more to guiding than having a good time. Guiding is a game with a purpose. It provides opportunities for girls and young women to:

" Be challenged by new experiences and achieve a sense of pride in accomplishment.
" Think for themselves and make decisions.
" Undertake teamwork and acquire leadership skills.
" Acquire self-awareness, self-respect and self-confidence.
" Develop personal values which give their lives meaning and direction.
" Do their best according to their abilities.
" Seek spiritual development.
" Contribute to society.
" Live by a simple code - the Guide Law
