12 THE ROTHLEY POST
SEP 2013
Guides and Brownies look back on year CROPSTON AND Thurcaston Guides and Brownies concluded a busy 12 months with a trip to the windmill at Woodhouse Eaves. They began their year in September 2012 making their own chocolate bars, following a demonstration of hand-made chocs by Hannah’s in Quorn. The Confectioner’s badge involved making a small iced and marzipanned Christmas cake and using icing kits to
pipe patterns on biscuits. Guides planted trees in the National Forest and Brownies gained their toymaker badge by making board games, stuffed toys, finger puppets, dressing up outfits and doll’s house accessories. They joined with the Guides for bonfire night, the Remembrance service and the pantomime in Loughborough. In the spring, Brownies and Guides worked for their Well Done badge. They learned to knit and crochet and make two pet blankets, donating them to
Animal Aid. They painted plant pots and added primulas before taking them to residents of the old people’s homes in Thurcaston and Cropston. There was a trip to swim in the pool at Beaumont Leys and at Chinese New Year the girls made paper lanterns and willow pattern pictures. The aim for the summer term was to look at heritage and culture and the group compared present day Thurcaston with an old map, acted out local legends and danced around the maypole. They made collages for the Horticultural show in September, went orienteering, camping, sowed wild flower seeds and went on a mini beast hunt with expert guidance. For Community Service the guides helped the leaders collect Barnardo’s envelopes in Cropston and raised £109. Three former members have achieved their Gold Duke of Edinburgh awards and five guides are about to receive their Baden-Powell award.

Golden praise A GOLD medal winning Paralympic athlete has praised the work of a Council-run summer sporting programme. Richard Whitehead MBE commended Charnwood Borough Council for organising free sports taster sessions for local children while attending an event in Mountsorrel on July 30. Speaking at the event, he said: “Hopefully more and more events like this are being organised by Councils as it’s a really important part of sport. I am just an athlete who enjoys sport and so am passing on my knowledge to these children to take part or volunteer.” Richard’s visit was organised by the national charity Join In, as part of Join in Summer. The session was held at Halstead Park Road playing fields, Mountsorrel and saw 23 children enjoy athletics and basketball as part of the Council’s free summer holiday activities.
