OUR COUNTY NEWSLETTER
Published monthly, our newsletter contains news and updates for members
Latest edition – February 2025
age from your county commissionerFebruary is always a big month in the Girlguiding world, with annual subscriptions and Thinking Day suddenly round the corner! Please make sure you are keeping in close contact with your commissioner if you are worried about annual subscriptions, as there’s lots of support out there that can be accessed. February is also the month we celebrate “love” in the form of Valentine’s Day. At the end of January, Emma & I were reminded why we “love” Girlguiding so much, when we spent a whole weekend with our region team colleagues. We looked to the future, shaping the regional strategy, which will in turn shape our county strategy for the next five years. With that being said, we want each of you to be feel able to tell us what you would like to see over the next five years. To start with, please make sure you complete our very quick anonymous survey below to tell us what events and activities you want and don’t want to see! We want to hear your voice! |
