PAISLEY DIVISION

During the past few weeks we have been very busy in Paisley Division.  Our Division Camp was held at Lapwing Lodge during the second last weekend in May and it  was blest with the most beautiful weather for the whole weekend.

We had around 80 Guides camping, 70 Brownie Guides in the Lodge and also visiting by the day on Saturday.  We also welcomed around 50 Rainbow Guides along on the Saturday to be with their sisters in Guiding to celebrate 100 Years of Guiding. 

A full and busy programme involved the Guides in Rafting, Canoeing, Archery, Backwoodsman Cooking, Wood Branding and on the Sunday a brilliant, wet, muddy water slide.  On the Satuday night we had a huge campfire which was led by the Lapwing Lodge Camp Staff and the Guides and Brownies made a huge contribution to the noise coming from the Braes on that Saturday evening.

Plans are now well underway for our last Guide Adventure to Alton Towers during the September Weekend.  We have one more bag pack at Morrisons at Lone End on

 Sunday  11th July 2010 from 10.00a.m. to 4.00 p.m.

CHANGING  THE  WORLD CHALLENGE

LAIGH KIRK GUIDE  UNIT

With 2010 being the centenary year for the Girl Guide movement the Guides of the 9th Paisley Guide Unit – Laigh Kirk were recently challenged by their leaders to collect 100 items to donate to a charity shop of their choice.

The guides have all worked really hard and have managed to collect far more items than the target of 100. After discussing which charity to choose the girls have opted for the ACCORD Shop in Causeyside St, and everyone at the Hospice is absolutely delighted to have been chosen

WEST  DISTRICT  PACK  HOLIDAY

Last weekend the Brownie Units from St. Mary's Church, Glenburn Baptist Church, Central Baptist Church and Martyrs Sandyford Church (King Street) all had a brilliant weekend at South Newton. 

The Brownies made place mats, beaded toadstools, boxes, climbed the climbing wall and made  facinating costumes from the latest craze in funky foam.  

 We would like to thank all the Guiders who took us away because without their dedication and willingness to take us away we would never see the outside of our church halls.

Once again thank you all  .....  you are all stars including the Brownies!!!!!!!!!!
