CONGRATULATIONS AMY!!
Last August Amy Seaman from 3rd Histon Guides was lucky enough to be presented her BADEN POWELL CHALLENGE AWARD by Liz Burnley the Chief Guide at the International Centenary Camp that was held at Hereward House.
The Baden Powell Challenge is the highest award a Guide can achieve, girls have to have made their Promise, completed at least two Guide Challenge badges and gained at least two interest badges to show her commitment to Guiding before they can start work on this award.
The challenge is divided into five zones:
Healthy Lifestyles – to encourage Guides to lead a healthy lifestyle by promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Global Awareness – to increase awareness of global issues and of the contribution each girl can make.
Discovery – to challenge Guides with new experiences and adventure.
Skills and Relationships – to develop Guides self-confidence and self worth and to improve their interpersonal and life skills.
Celebrating Diversity – to promote active citizenship among Guides, develop their awareness of rights and responsibilities for all.
Girls have to plan, organise and complete ten clauses from these zones.
To complete the award girls have to take part in a Baden-Powell Adventure these are usually residential events Amy went to Newmarket for her adventure.
We congratulate Amy on all her hard work making her the first Guides in our Unit to complete this award for many years.
Well done
