In 2022-23 we had 30 girls attending our unit. The girls worked on the “Be Well” theme and each of them completed the “Healthy Minds” interest badge, the “Feel Good” skills builder badge and all were awarded their “Be Well” theme award badge.
The girls also worked for the “Animal Lover” interest badge and we all enjoyed a visit from Marshall, the therapy dog. The girls completed the “Reflect” stage 1 skills builder badge and all were awarded their “Know Myself” theme award badge.
