Cryst als Capers - Travels of our Centenary Champion Bear
lue Peter was broadcast live from the Lakeside
Shopping Centre in February and Brownies
from Grays West were among those to help
launch the latest Bring and Buy Sale.
The girls had a stall in the VIP area of the set and
featured in the live show.
There was a host of celebrities there, Including
Connie Fisher, all helping
on a variety of stalls raising
cash for the Mission
Nutrition campaign to
help children in Africa
and the UK eat and
grow better food.
All the girls and their
Leaders were
given the
coveted Blue
Peter Badge
and even
Crystal now
wears the famous
badge.

It’ s getting closer Folks!
ell, Crystal really has
been a busy bear since
our last newsletter.
She went to Hong Kong with
Guides from Warley, Ice Skating
on the South Bank, been ready
to go camping complete with a
sleeping bag, toured Legoland, joined a Brownie Pack for their
birthday party and even been touring in France with Brownies on
holiday with parents. Crystal now has her own Blue Peter badge
after meeting with Blue Peter presenters and other celebrities at
Lakeside and, of course, enjoyed the snow back in February. Keep
your pictures coming so we can all keep up with Crystal adventures!!

If you thought there was still oodles of time before the Centenary
Celebration start, then think again! It is only NINE MONTHS
until we ‘invade’ Disneyland Paris and that will be a brilliant start
to a year of fun.
The Rainbows will be looking forward to their Princess Party in
April, followed by the Guides at Skreens Park in May and then all
the fun of the Big Top for the Brownies and their Circus Day in June.
That will be quickly followed by the Garden Party for Guiders at Blake
Hall in June and a BBQ Disco in the evening for the energetic ones!
This will all be topped off by the big Family Fun Day in Orsett in
July. Full details of all these events, with booking forms, will be
available towards the end of this year so keep your eyes open so
