NEW: Well done to the Rainbows who did craft work that was entered into the Radley Flower show. We will put your certificates through your doors when we are passing your way over the Summer.
Jackie (Harlequin) is still the only qualified Leader in the unit, with Andrew as Unit Helper, Gemma as Young Leader and Chris as Occasional Unit Helper. 
   
   
It would be great to find another person(s) who would like to join our Guiding family once a week in term time.  All volenteers are welcome, as long as they don't mind having a DBS check, either as a Parent Helper, Unit Helper, or to train to become a Unit Leader like Jackie.    
   
   
   
Nationally, Girlguiding have updated the age range for Rainbows, so Rainbows are now welcome to start with us the term after they turn four, if they are ready.
