Guide
Heritage Centre
February
22, 2000
On this
significant guiding day I visited Girl Guide headquarters in
London. They have a very cool display/play area set up known
as the Guiding Heritage Centre. An extremely friendly guider
met me and gave me a run down on what I should expect. There
was a bridge building room, a bit tricky to do on your own,
but the group of Brownies also visiting had had a lot of fun.
There was a history section with models.
Upstairs
I became a Brownie again and crawled into the tree hollow to
hear the brownie story from a wise old owl. All the activities
upstairs were interactive. I tried to do a world badge puzzle
but failed. I went better on the touch screen computer test
about camping. I wouldn't be a very good ranger because I couldn't
do the map reading test. In another tree I watched a video of
a guide group. They certainly seemed to have a lot of fun. I
thought the centre was very well set up and it brought back
many special memories for me.
