Here are a few of the storm drains Guides have adopted

Ruby has named hers - “Leaf Me Alone”.

Yael has named hers "Eat Your Leaves, Joan of Ark".

Lydia’s has adopted twins “Drip and Turns out Drip”.

Service Projects

This week I wanted our group to focus on “service projects”.

As Girl Guides we try to do things that help other people.
Things we have done in the past include making cards for seniors and veterans for different holidays, beach clean ups, making emergency kits for families in shelters, garbage clean up in the neighbourhood and lots of others.

I heard a radio interview with another Guide Leader on CBC radio. She talked about a project both her family and her Guide group is doing.
It’s free and it’s fun.
My sister and I started doing this project last year. You get to give a name to your storm drain! 
We named our two storm drains in front of our house– “The Grate Bar Rier Reef” and “No Re Leaf In Sight”.

To get started go to the city of Vancouver website -

Here is a video to tell you what is all about-

Take a picture and tell us the name you have given to your storm drain and email to our Guide email!

Nov. 16 Working on the Alberta Girl Guides Night Powler challenge

 

November 16th 
Over the last month we have been working on a challenge from the Alberta Girl Guides called the "Night Prowl" challenge. 
Our geocaching at night started off our activities.  
One of our very clear night sky parking lot meetings we also identified three planets - Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

This week our information is about animals who like to come out at night!
On our Halloween party night we shaped our edible treat to look like a bat.
Have you seen a bat here in Vancouver? Sometimes they are hard to spot. In Vancouver it is easier to see them in the summer as some like to find warm places to hibernate during the fall and winter months.

Learning a new song is always fun. Here's a song about bats.
Here's a song to learn

Owls are also a night prowler.  If you were in Brownies you might have called your leaders by different owl names.  
Do you know about the special senses that owls have?
Watch this about owls

CRAFT TIME!

Try making this owl.  Send a picture of your and we will put it on the blog!
