We started this term with 11 rangers who completed the Be Well & Skill for My Future Theme Awards.
We had 8 girls who completed their bronze DofE Award, they completed their expeditions in the Antrim Hills over 2 weekends and fun was had by all.
We joined our guide unit and visited the Ulster Aviation Society where the girls got to see and go into planes that flew during the war. We stayed in the Ranger Cottage at Lorne for our annual camp and completed outdoor activities (Zip Wire, Gladiator Challenge & Archery). We also attended the Remembrance Day Service and celebrated Thinking Day with our guide unit.
For our Christmas Good turn we again supported the Lisburn Food Bank along with the Rainbows, Brownies & Guides.
