Girl Guiding

Create an emergency preparedness plan.

Our Motto was Be Prepared. Yes, I was a girl guide many moons ago. Patrol Leader of the Robins, no less.

I loved the uniform, a rich blue cotton shirt with stripes on our pockets to show our status. The tie folded just so. The brown leather belt with the shiny buckle. A whistle dangling on one side my compass on the other. A perfectly white lanyard. A red one for Camp.

And then everything changed. They modernised the uniform. The new design was sloppy, the material horrible. The lanyard gone. I was gutted!

I never did like camping anyway.
