Fantastic session - the leaders gave a super account of the programme and how it would work, what they needed from parents and what the girls would get out of the programme. Enthusiastic parents who asked the right sort of questions and were really pleased and excited about the opportunity. Word of mouth meant we had 2 possible additional girls to sign up - one of whom would have special needs, but I am sure that we can give her the extra help she will need and if her Mum thinks she is up to it, we will work with her to establish how we can give her enough support without taking away from her the fun of having a go with friends. We are lucky that we have a great adviser for members with disabilities we can call on too.
Found the Makaton Promise on the web as her Mum thinks that is what she might be able to manage - that would be a fun challenge for all of us to learn......
Left the meeting feeling really upbeat - both about the young leadership team and about the support we would be able to get from parents.
We're delighted you are interested in this project which we hope will get more girls into Guiding in Gloucestershire and having a great time. Please feel free to share your comments. I will be using this Blog to record the way we have gone about it so that if others are interested they can use or improve the process
