    Girl Guide Elements

Geocaching Element: has been postponed- keep watching for more details!

Camping Element: coming in Spring 2010

What are Girl Guide Elements?  Elements are a supportive side-kick to our regular program.   The program is being developed to answer the need in our membership for specialty activities and to allow girls who would like to be in Guiding but are unable to commit to weekly unit meetings, a chance to become a member.   Perhaps a unit who does not camp, has some girls who would like to - they may take the Camping Element when offered. 

Some ideas for Girl Guide Elements that are being considered:

Camping – a few weeks of tent care, sit upon making, camp cooking skills that ends with a weekend (or longer) of camp!

Photography/Scrapbookin, Fitness class for young people, Canoeing, Salt Water Aquariums, Horseback Riding, Painting, Fencing, Golf, Kayaking, Badminton

The guidelines (subject, timing and length of session, target age group, cost etc) of each Element will depend on the Guider who is organizing/running it and the type of activity. Got an idea?  Input?  Suggestion?  Concern? Question? Want to organize an Element yourself? Contact Mindy Beaver at mg.beaver@sasktel.net or 283-4227
