What is Guides
Being a Guide is all about learning new skills, making your own decisions and having fun. Guiding provides a safe environment to explore new possibilities and achieve personal goals while making friends and having adventures.
It’s up to each Guide to work out which opportunities are relevant for her, whether it’s improving her football skills, party planning or learning about independent living.
Guides work together in Patrols. They elect their own Patrol Leader and are encouraged to plan their own activities. Patrols provide a ready-made group of friends and helps the girls to feel that they belong to something special. Any girl aged ten to 14 who wishes to, can become a Guide. Each Guide chooses the top she wants to wear from the options available in the Guide wear collection. This choice allows Guides to be themselves but also makes them feel part of the unit.
The Guide Promise is:
I promise that I will do my best:
To love my God,
To serve the Queen and my country,
To help other people, and
To keep the Guide Law
The Guide Laws are:
A Guide is honest, reliable and can be trusted.
A Guide is helpful and uses her time and abilities wisely.
A Guide faces challenges and learns from her experience.
A Guide is a good friend and a sister to all Guides.
A Guide is polite and considerate.
A Guide respects all living things and takes care of the world around her.
The Guides programme covers five main sections which are:
healthy lifestyles
global awareness
skills and relationships
celebrating diversity
discovery (of new experiences and adventures).
Welcome to 2nd Thame Guides
2nd Thame Guides are the newest edition to Guiding in Thame, having formed in September 2010. We currently run with one pack leader and two assistant leaders, all of whom are experienced in youth work.
We meet once a week and have a varied programme where we aim to offer a range of experiences and encourage the girls to reach their full potential in a safe, supported environment.
Since we began we have been up to some exciting stuff including a charity hike up 'kili-man-crendon', swimming, making phone-charms, cooking pizza and flower arranging. A group of us are also ready to head off camping as part of the Division Camp this year.
If you'd like more details of what we do, or how to get involved in Guiding in Thame, please get in touch at guides@thameguides.org.uk.
