Yukon Guides

One sleep to go until we hold our annual registration celebration at Shipyards Park …

TUESDAY, SEPT. 15 — 5pm to 7 pm

This is a great opportunity to visit with Guiding friends old and new, do that pesky paperwork, and join in the fun of Guiding (food! singing! games!)  We will have a special presentation at 6 pm too:  Recognizing Evelyn Neave’s years of service with a (gulp!) 50 year pin.

Hope to see you there …. looks like the weather will co-operate too.

February brought longer days and a Rendezvous Party to celebrate. Shipyards Park was full of fun: kids sliding, skating, and creating your own garter to prevent being arrested by the Keystone Kops. Yukon Girl Guides and Pathfinders were on hand to deliver Kidsdezvous and provided games and activities to entertain.

Yukon Sparks came out to decorate the bus for the parade. The enthusiasm demonstrated during the parade was recognized with the award of ‘Best Youth Presentation.’ Congratulations to all and thanks for participating!

Another successful Bazaar was held on November 15th. The bazaar raised almost $2000, the silent auction $800 and 11 carrying cases of cookies were sold.

Congratulations on a job well done. Thanks to everyone who helped with set up, selling, take down, craft making, baking, silent auction, planning and purchasing! Special thanks to Shannon who made it all happen.

As the Guiding year draws to a close, we would like to celebrate with a family potluck!

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008 at the Grey Mountain Room at Mount Macintyre Recreation Centre. The part and potluck are from 6 pm to 8 pm. Food delivery and set up is between 5:45 and 6.) The Annual General Meeting is at 8 pm for leaders and paying adult members.

The year end party includes our annual Fly-up ceremony. Sparks, Brownies, Guides and Pathfinders bid farewell to their current Guiding level and are welcomed into the next.

Pathfinders who have completed their Canada Cord will receive the award and leaders will be recognized for their hard work and dedication.

Uniforms are mandatory as girls will be presenting and receiving awards.

Yukon Girl Guides celebrated World Thinking Day on Saturday, February 22 at the Canada Games Centre in Whitehorse.

The girls heard presentations that helped broaden their horizons, finding out more about Guiding around the world.

After some fun and games, our Patron, Yukon Commissioner Geraldine Van Bibber spoke to the girls as well.
