Peacebuilding and skill building
On 22nd Feb it was World Thinking Day. The theme this year was peace building. We joined the Guides for an extended meeting. Some activities from the WAGGGS pack helped everyone think about changing their mindset to help us become peace builders in our community.
We then compared Guide Promises around the world, before Woodpecker made her first Promise as a Ranger. With candles lit, and lights turned out, everyone renewed their Promise together.

The following week, 1st March, was St David's Day. One of the stories about St David was the miraculous raising of a hill so that a vast crowd could hear him preach. This provided an excuse to practise some communication skills, and we revised the BSL finger spelling alphabet.
The mountains of Wales are not far away from where we live, so we also practised some first aid skills in case anyone was injured half way up a mountain. Unfortunately its not easy to practise splints and stretchers by yourself, but practising with each other will have to wait some time yet. We are not even allowed to cross the border into Wales at all yet.
Useful videos are on the buttons below. Start practising - on your siblings or parents, and send a report on your progress.
