The effects of COVID remain for us and all unformed organi5atTons but we have a composite growth plan in place and a team now dedicated to both growth, retention and external engagement. We began actively recruitlng for our first international Tn over 5 years during 2024 and began the process of fundraising to take 16 girls to Switzerland In 2025 for an ICE adventure. All sections enjoyed our Thinkfng Day event in February 2024 nearly 600 girLs taking part in a day of activities themed around the planets and space. A hugely enjoyable day, subsldised by County to deliver a value for money experience for everyone. We supported Brown7e units across the County wlth transport Costs to the Reglon, Girlguiding Midlands Day at Drayton Manor, where over 240 girls enjoyed the actlVTties and made new frfends. Our Rainbows enjoyed a Super Slumber sleepover where we had a weekend of fun, crafts and games. Nearly 40 girls attended and their leaders and the event was a brilliant success. Our older guides and rangers partTcipated in Challenger Camp25 and our leaders joined together at Connect24 our County Weekend at Dunf7eld House, Herefordshire for a weekend of traininq and getting to know one another. 2025 promises to be an exciting year as we see a change in County Team, supported by new ACC and DC'S.
