05 Feb - Welcome back meeting
We only had two girls at Guides as it was the Thurs before a long weekend. We did a bit of group planning for the term but had a shortened meeting.

19 Feb
Outdoor clauses at a local park - mapping skills and plant recognition
Sunday 22 Feb - Thinking Day
We had a Division Thinking Day picnic - with families there. We played games, made kites, had a short Thinking Day ceremony where we made a coin trail and then we ate saveloys.

A lot of the evening was taken up with the girls acting a Maori legend for Patrol time - or rather with a lot of mucking around planning it. We also grew sugar crystals and did a Guiding Unit Heritage Challenge clause - dressing 2 girls up in Peace Scout uniforms made out of newspaper.

We went rock-climbing at Ferg's indoor rock-climbing wall. Everyone had a great time!!!
