Baden Powell Challenge Awards

On Wednesday 10th December at Elland and West Vales Christmas Carol Concert five Guides received their Baden Powell Challenge Award presented by our County Commissioner Mrs Alison Moss.

Katherine Dixon, Emma Smith, Annelise Brady,

Chloe Farrar and Victoria Carlin

were the Guides who had gained this prestigious award.

They completed their award over a twelve month period, taking on responsibilities in the Guide Unit, undertaking Community Service by helping out at various events, attending Camps, gaining various badges and finally taking part in their ultimate challenge.

To complete their challenge the girls attended the Girlguiding International Selection and we are pleased to say Anneliese has been chosen to represent Girlguiding NEE in Switzerland in 2009.

The girls worked extremely hard to gain their awards and all the Leaders and Guides at West Vale are extremely proud of them.

Congratulations to you ALL.

Baden-Powell Challenge Award

The Baden-Powell Challenge is the ultimate achievement for a Guide. It is for Guides who wish to stretch themselves as individuals to achieve the very best that they can. It is not about achieving a set standard, nor is it about being academically able.

Any Guide who has made her Promise, completed as least two Guide Challenge badges and gained two interest badges, may start the Baden-Powell Challenge.
