5 THINGS YOU CAN LEARN FROM A GIRL GUIDE CAMP
June 17, 2017Every time I camp as a Girl Guide leader, people will recollect wonderful memories of their own experiences in Guides or Scouts.
I love hearing those stories because I see the funny little teenagers of years ago and the same excited faces that I saw in my charges last weekend.
There's always the, "wow, I worked it out" face, when an unknown and mysterious knot is successfully and correctly tied for the first time.
Or the, "hey, that actually worked" face, as a girl climbs a self-made rope ladder high into a tree.
Even after 25 years of being a volunteer Girl Guide leader, some of those faces can make me swell with pride, and, after 25- plus years camping with Girl Guides, I can tell you there are a handful of life lessons you can take from a Girl Guide camp.
