Celebration time!If you’re planning a special event for your County, Division or District, or want a Christmas party with a difference, what better than a delicious meal in one of our beautiful settings?

Baden-Powell AdventuresThe Baden-Powell Challenge Award is the ultimate achievement for Guides. In order to complete the Award a Guide needs to take part in a Baden-Powell Adventure – a chance for her to try something new and celebrate the completion of her Award with her fellow Guides. For a Guide to attend one of these Adventures, her Leader will need to approve her application and the Guide must show that she has nearly completed all ten Challenge clauses.

Who can go? Guides without their Leaders
