Over the past year the 15 girls (7 new) in the Unit played games, cooked, crafted and completed a number of challenges/activities resulting in the Pumpkin, Robin, Ulster’s Whit Aboot Ye?, and Bug Life Challenge Badges being awards as well as Stage 1 Network, Stage 1 Communication Skills Builders, Family Tree, Drawing and Agility Interest Badges, Know Myself and Express Myself Theme Awards.
