And amazing movement for girls lead by volunteer leaders, basing itself on community service and developing young girls into women with awesome morals. I love it.
And, this year is Girl Guides Australia's 100 birthday! YAY!
So, the one thing I have gotten out of Guides' Birthday? Ok, so there is more than one..
1) I went to an awesome camp in Melbourne to celebrate. It was called ACE, and I had probably the best time of my life (thus far...) and met some AMAZING girls - truly wonderful, awe inspiring friends I know I will keep forever.
2) some cool badges ;)
3)The last day before my life, before my freedom was taken away (aka the last day before year 12 started) was used at a church service on the 10/10/10 to renew our guiding promises at 10am. Cool ae? Yeah no when I was the only senior guide there AND we had to sing infront of all the church people in really high soprano voices. Cool. But I mean, it was still really good to do and all.
So, HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY GIRL GUIDES!

And here are a few quotes
Discipline yourself daily by having a plan...not just vague, wishful thinking. Commit yourself daily to do something however small, for somebody else, for by making other people happy you will find true happiness yourself.
--- Lady Olave Baden-Powell (founder of guides)
So in our work indeed, in any work of life we should look forward, well forward, with high aims and hope; look around with joy and goodwill; look back with thankfulness at what has been accomplished and then press on with renewed vigor, with helpful initiative, and with broadened outlook, towards the highest goal, not forgetting to give a helping hand to others as we go. But when you look - look WIDE; and even when you think you are looking wide - LOOK WIDER STILL."- Lord Baden-Powell (founder of scouts and guides)
