The North Battleford Girl Guides have increased their numbers for the second year in a row. With 43 girl members and nine registered volunteer leaders, this year is already packed full of great adventures in Guiding!
So far this year, the girls have earned several badges for food preparation, outdoor games, knot tying, career choices, teamwork, skills around the home, survival skills, first aid, leadership skills, and learning about the Guiding Program.
On Nov. 26, the members of the 1st North Battleford Spark Unit, 1st North Battleford Brownie Unit and the 1st North Battleford Guiding Unit met for an Enrollment Ceremony. The District Commissioner, Jenn Lefebvre was in attendance to enroll the volunteer leaders and present Volunteer Service Year Pins, Merit Awards and Gold Thank You Pins.
One of the recipients D.C Jenn Lefebvre presented awards to was Abbi Adair, a girl member of the Pathfinder Program and nine-year Girl Guide member. Abbi was presented with two awards. The first award was the Community Service Award for supporting her community with more than 25 Community Service hours over the last 2 years of the Pathfinder program. She was also awarded with the Citizen Certificate which is presented to Pathfinders who complete eight activities from the "Be a Model Citizen" in the "Creating Your Future" program of Girl Guides.
