A local girl guide group is marking a milestone moment by bringing together Guides both past and present to a special event which is due to be held next Saturday.
The Mackay City Girl Guides have been operating at their current location for the past 65 years and during that time countless young women have learnt invaluable skills such as resilience, team building, leadership skills and community engagement.
The event will be a snapshot through time with the group putting up old tents that would have been used and exhibiting old membership forms that show processes of yesteryear.
“The vibe is reminiscing through the years of Guiding,” said Support Group President Erin Turner.
“We will look at what Guiding used to be like with old photos and go through the decades to see how things changed.”
The current Girl Guide patrols will also show some of their skills such as first aid, knots and lashing and telecommunications.
During the event there will be special presentations to two of the Guides who have recently been awarded the Baden-Powell award.
There will also be a special celebratory cake and an opportunity for girl guides, young and old, to connect and share stories.
“Everyone is welcome to come along to the event,” said Erin.
“Even if you’re not a Girl Guide but are interested in learning more about it – we’d love to see you.”
As the afternoon progresses there will also be a BBQ and for those that would like to stay into the evening there will be a campfire.
