Girl Guide Winter Fun in New Brunswick!
Even when the temperatures drop, Girl
Guides still have fun in the great outdoors. Although Maritimers always say
every year that “this winter has been the worst one yet”, this winter really
has been one of the worst.
Most provinces have at least 5 feet of snow, and in
some places 10 feet. But that doesn’t stop Girl Guides from having fun. This
winter we’ve seen girls and guiders brave the elements to keep the guiding
spirit of adventure alive all year long. Whether it’s snow shoeing, hiking,
sliding, or setting up tents, there’s lots to do in the winter. Some units like
to do more low key activities like spray painting art in the snow and building
snowmen, but it seems that no matter the weather, Girl Guides still have a
blast.
Here we have the 16th Saint John Pathfinder
and Rangers. The Rangers built quinzees in the snow, and slept in them. The
Pathfinders attempted to set up tents in the snow and succeeded! Apparently the
girls also had a contest where they made snow shoes out of sticks. Hopefully
they’ll get to go snow shoeing with real ones soon.
Here we have the 1st Hampton Pathfinders
who went hiking with snow shoes on to the Ice Caves in Midland NB. It looks
like the girls were having lots of fun sliding down all that ice.

Atlantic Canada World Thinking Day Celebrations!
Atlantic Canada has been busy this past World Thinking Day. Not only have the girls taken time out of their busy schedules to honour Lord
and Lady Baden Powell, but they have also tried new games and recipes as well. The
girls were given the opportunity to try new foods from St. Vincent and the
Grenadines including the calypso drink and the coconut roll. Further, many
units also tried out the shared World Thinking Day activities. The “Make the Shape” activity
seemed to be quite popular and enjoyed by all! Check out some of the fun we
have documented below:
Culture Sharing Activities
The 2nd
Timberlea Brownies give thumbs up (or thumbs down) to Calypso drink. Some thought it
was a little sour (must have been the grapefruit juice)! (submitted by L.Smith, 2nd Timberlea Brownies)
Harvest Trail
Area Commissioner, Darlene Banks, takes Coconut roll from the oven. It was
"a little overcooked" but the girls loved it! Girls from the
Harvest Area also made seashell crafts, the calypso drink and of course they
played the 1 and 20 game. They learned about the history of Twinning as well as
about St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Guiding there. All the girls in
attendance enjoyed the activities! (Submitted by M.L Johnson/1st Aylesford Guides)
Activities from the #Shareit Twinning Activity Guide
for Thinking Day 2015
The 1st Long Pond Sparks play the
“Make the Shape” game. The girls learned the importance of working together to
achieve great success! The girls cannot wait to play this game again (Submitted by C. Haines, 1st Long Pond Sparks).
We hope everyone had a great World Thinking Day 2015!
