On the weekend Clare and I went to our first Brownie Guide mother/daughter explorer camp.  What fun was had by all!  The weather was perfect, the activities were fun, it was all extremely nostalgic, and the people were terrific.

Clare made her Guide promise, and all in all it was a highly successful weekend. I am astounded at all the young women (only in their 20s) who volunteer as Brownie and Guide leaders – they were so dedicated to our girls and arranged a wonderful camp. Yesterday was International Women’s Day and I was reflecting on the leaders and their achievements and contribution to todays young girls. Very impressive.

The girls worked together so beautifully in their patrols and tackled all the challenges of camp with enthusiasm. Clare can’t wait for the next one (although it’s taken me about three days to recover)!
