I wish I was a Girl Guide when I was a kid. This weekend, Giorgia and I participated in a Mother/Daughter camp. Out of the 11 mums that stayed overnight, there were only 3 of us that were never Guides. The others told us about the fun times they had when they were Guides back in the day.
It was quite obvious that the young Guides these days have it way too easy because our camp was an “indoor camp” with beds, showers and an indoor camp fire because some of the girls, (and most of the mums) were not too keen on singing camp songs amongst the leaches!
The theme of the camp was “fairytales” with the activities based around The Ugly Duckling, Cinderella, The Emperor’s New Clothes and a few others.
The girls (and mums!) all had a great time and I must admit that it was more fun than I thought it was going to be. I actually packed a book and a notepad/pen just in case I needed to find something to do but we were busy having fun the whole weekend!
But the highlight of the camp was watching the new girls (Giorgia and Cayley-Ann (Peta’s daughter) included) making their promise and becoming fully-fledged Girl Guides.
It was an awesome weekend! Giorgia is so excited that she is a “real” Girl Guide now and said that she loved the camp. So did I…and I tell you, it was much better than spending the weekend doing housework and laundry! LOL
