Girl guides and Baden Powell

I never normally post this kind of thing but I am bursting with pride.
My daughter and her lovely friend both got awarded the Baden Powell award tonight. This is the highest award a guide can achieve and this was the last year they can been done.
It has been quite the journey for my daughter due to family health issues and she had to really cram alot of the work involved into the last 5 months of it, normally it takes around 18 months to 2 years .
Sorry for the boast post but I am so proud 😊😊

Congratulations to her! A lot of work, (and it will be great on her CV when she needs one.)
My mum was a Guide Captain all the time I was growing up and until she retired, she was also in the Trefoil Guild until she died. We sang Taps at her funeral.

I said the same 're her CV, and also for her personal statement if she goes to college/university.
That was lovely that sang Taps for your mum.

I know how proud you feel as my GD achieved this award a couple of months ago, it is a shame they are discontinuing this award but my GD has now progressed to Rangers so is going to go for the new Gold Award, she has also completed her Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and is now working towards her Silver DoE Award, as others have said it all looks good on her CV

Congratulations to your daughter! Very well done.
Our eldest daughter achieved her Baden Powell award about 13 years ago and we were very proud.
She was very shy and it really helped to give her confidence.

Well Done. I didn’t realise this was being discontinued☹️

My mother was a Brown Owl, District Commisioner and the Girl Guiding movement was something I grew up with. I remember dropping her of at Nerthurd in the borders for training. I’ll need to talk to her about the Baden Powell award.

Strangely I now live (part time) a few doors down from the Guiding HQ Scotland.

Congratulations to your DD, it’s an amazing achievement.

I know how much work goes into it. My DD completed hers some years ago.
