Guides

Woodside Park has a thriving Guides group catering for girls aged from 10-14 in the community.

We meet at Woodside Park Synagogue during term times every week. Guides take part in a wide range of exciting activities at their regular meetings and at special events and camps. Girls do everything from adventure sports to playing fun games, and from taking part in community action projects to the performing arts Guides work together in small groups or 'Patrols' and with the support of an adult Leader, choose and run some of the activities themselves using 'Go For Its'.

The Guide programme is divided into five areas: discovery of new experiences and challenges, healthy lifestyles, global awareness skills and relationships celebrating diversity. Girls can extend their knowledge and skills by working towards Guide Interest Badges covering many different hobbies and activities from Film lover to Independent living. They can also gain Challenge badges that recognise their participation in guiding over a period of time. The badges build towards the Baden- Powell Challenge Award named in honour of the founder of Guiding. The Baden Powell Challenge Award is highly regarded and important addition to any personal statement or C.V. Contact Jacqueline Edelman Jacquiedelman@dsl.pipex.com
