GIRLGUIDING in Colehill recently celebrated a remarkable milestone – it’s 100th anniversary.

A party was put on for members past and present and also guests from the local community.

The evening was filled with tales of nostalgia, much laughter and hopes for Girlguiding’s future.

It marked the end of a term looking at its achievements , history and the opportunities it has provided for generations of young girls.

The Guides produced displays of the different eras of Girlguiding and showcased these to all that joined in the celebratory evening.

A spokesperson said: “Preparations began months in advance, with a back-to-basics camp at the newly reopened Foxlease Park in Lyndhurst in May, followed by community events such as litter picks and a car wash and also adventure days at a water sports event.”

Plans for going forward include community projects, international trips and updated badge work that reflects the changing world.

The Guides produced a commemorative badge for the occasion which was also used as the decoration for the celebratory cake.

The 100th anniversary was a chance to honour Guiding traditions and the evening concluded with all members singing the traditional closing song, Taps.
