KADINA Girl Guides Unit would like more girls to join the fun, invites youth member Akiesha Young.
Girl Guides is really fantastic and enjoyable for all girls aged 8 to 14 years and now I am older I am helping the leaders and the girls.
The organisation offers the opportunity for members to learn new things and make new friends.
Our unit is very creative and we are always willing to give new things a go.
We show a sense of leadership and take pride in all the work we complete while demonstrating to others that kindness is always key to new opportunities.
Through Girl Guides we decide and do a range of activities including celebrating the birthdays of founder Robert Baden-Powell and wife, World Chief Guide Olave Baden-Powell, exploring our national heritage throughout Yorke Penin­sula, sporting activities, arts and crafts, going on camps to various places, enjoying the outdoors and cooking.
Our unit holds garage sales in the Guide Hall to raise money for activities and outings, and improve the hall.
Earlier this year we travelled to Office Beach, Wallaroo, for Clean Up Australia Day, making our way through the sand, rocks and pathways to make a difference and help the world be a better place.
We join in activities with other Girl Guide units, some in Adelaide, Port Pirie, Crystal Brook, Whyalla and Minlaton.
The Kadina Guide Hall is in No 6 Lane, opposite the McDonald’s drive-through entrance; we meet 5pm to 6.30pm each Monday during school terms.
We would love to have some more girls come and join us so we can meet new people, have more girls join in our activities and make new friends.
