SUMMER 2012
Trefoil Jubilee party at Chigwell Row
t may have been a wet stormy day but
in true Guiding spirit rain did not stop
play when the eleven Essex West
Trefoil Guilds, celebrated the Queens
Diamond Jubilee at Chigwell Row camp
site.
Craft, giant versions of Jenga,
Connect Four and Dominoes had to be
enjoyed under cover.
But storms had to be dodged to take
part in the Orienteering treasure hunt,
Archery and the 110 foot
Zip wire!
A great bring and share
lunch was enjoyed and
later in the afternoon a
beautiful Union flag cake
was cut.
A toast to the Queen
was given and the day
ended with the Guilds
being entertained by a
Pearly King and Queen
tribute, leading them in a Jubilee sing a long , finishing with Knees up Mother Brown.

here’s
something
different about
this issue of the
GGEW News.
For the first time
we are carrying an
advertisement.
Until now, this has been an ad free zone, not for any
particular reason, just that we haven’t been asked before.
Crafty Crocodiles is a company that could prove really
useful to a lot of units within the County looking for those
all important craft supplies.
The company is flexible with regards to the quantity you
need to order and will give a discount to all guiding buyers.
Delivery times are important and our own experience is
that next-day delivery is almost standard.
We have a quantity of Crafty Crocodiles catalogues to
distribute and these will be available at County events and
meetings over the coming months.

SUMMER 2012
he 7th Brentwood
Rainbows completed a range of
activities to achieve their
diamond jubilee badge.
They made their own
flotilla of boats and river,
buried a time capsule in
the cathedral garden,
learned facts about the
Queen and the national
anthem and had a 60s
themed game night.
To complete their
challenge they had to
have a joint meeting with
part of the scouting
group. We joined 3rd
Brentwood Beavers at
Thriftwood for activities
to mark the anniversary
of the 1st of Mount
Everest. We had a great
time, climbing and
trekking, and were
rewarded with their
badge at the end.

Leader
