A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
The average membership for the year was 26 girls. Throughout the year girls had the opportunity to make decisions for themselves regarding programme planning and activities. They took part in badge work, games, crafts, County Craft Challenge, promise party and had a county outing to the Cinema. The rainbows also had a fun fitness evening, completed the Ulster Scots badge, celebrated Chinese New Year and Burns night. For thinking day we talked about the guiding centres in Switzerland and Africa.
