Throughout last year the girls were kept busy with a number of different activities.<\/p>\n
These included a PinkDrive initiative which educated Girl Guides about breast cancer and the importance of early detection, as well as giving them the opportunity to host fund-raising events to raise funds for breast cancer research.<\/p>\n
A blood donor drive to increase blood donations was also organised by the Guides and Brownies.<\/p>\n
This project was well received and supported by the community.<\/p>\n
Many Guide camps and pack holidays were held during the year, and the girls also hosted a Mad Hatter\u2019s Tea Party, where they cooked their own food and provided entertainment for the parents who attended the event.<\/p>\n
The Germburg Ranger Crew hosted a fantastic camp for Rangers from Gauteng, which included a Master Chef cook-off, and at which creative talents were allowed to run free, with girls making their own shopping bags and taking part in photography lessons and a competition.<\/p>\n
Girls could earn \u201cconnect badges\u201d through the year that encouraged them to connect with themselves, friends, the community and the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe thank all the parents for their valuable contributions and for helping to make 2016 a memorable year for their children,\u201d said Sue Vorster.<\/p>\n
