INTERNATIONAL REPORT

This year has been busy in the County with International trips. Many units have visited camps around the UK and some even ventured abroad.

Kathryn McBride from Gourock was lucky enough to attend an International camp in Denmark during the summer. She took part in a variety of camping activities and met lots of new people. Kathryn was eager to share her experiences with other girls from around the county at this year’s INTOPS event at the beginning of October.

INTOPS was superbly supported this year with 24 girls attending the event. All girls took part in getting to know you games, team building opportunities and fundraising activities. Lucy Clark from Greenock and Pamela Burke from Bridge of Weir are representing the County at Scottish INTOPS and are sure to do so exceptionally well. Due to a variety of centenary opportunities being available this year, all the girls who attended the County INTOPS are going to be able to take part in an opportunity.

Six girls will be representing Renfrewshire at the Scottish Centenary Camp at Netherurd, eight girls will go as part of the Renfrewshire group to the UK Centenary Camp at Harewood House and a further eight girls will hopefully be attending the Centenary Camp on the 14 – 16 year old sub camp. This year is bound to be one of the busiest yet and hopefully everyone will be able to have a taste of International Guiding.
