71st_hull_guides

Hi we are the 71st Hull St Johns Newland guides.
We meet regularly every Monday night, and we currently have 15 guides in our unit. Guides are aged between 10 and 15. We are split into 3 groups called Patrols. We have a Guider- Becky, Unit helper- Tina, Assistant Guider- Sarah and two Young Leaders- Emma and Katie. Anyway take a look around our site to find out what we get up to and what it is like to be a guide.

I promise I will do my best:
To love my God,
To serve the Queen and my country,
To help other people and
To keep the guide law.

1. A Guide is honest, reliable and can be trusted.
2. A Guide is helpful, and uses her time and abilities wisely.
3. A Guide faces challenge and learns from her experiences.
4. A Guide is a good friend and a sister to all Guides.
5. A Guide is polite and considerate.
6. A Guide respects all living things and takes care of the world around her.

The Guide Programme has recently changed, and instead of a handbook we now have G-files. In patrols we work on go for its and get certificates once we have completed the particular Go For It. The Guide uniform has also been added too. We can now wear what we want on the bottom half and a choice between the existing uniform, a rugby shirt, t-shirt, gillet, or jumper all with the new logo on.

Thank you for visiting our website, please sign our guest book and come back as this site is always been updated

There are guides all around the world, not just in the UK. They may not be called Guides or wear the same uniform, but they are all part of the Guiding movement. Each year on the 22nd February every Guide thinks of everyone else in the Guiding movement all around the world, this is called World Thinking Day. Guides alll over the world sing a special song at the end of every meeting which is called "Taps."

Day is done, Gone the sun,
From the sea, From the hills,
From the sky. All is well,
Safely rest, God is nigh.

The word "Taps" comes from the early days of the American army. At the end of the day the drummer would tap on his drum so the soilders would know it was time to go to bed, Even when the army replaced the drum, the name still stuck!
