Histon Guides - Changing the World

By Guides has blogged 18

Histon Guides have been working towards the Change the World badge - we have taken pieces from lots of different areas we have enjoyed the variety and learnt a lot.

Crisis

Fighting for hope for homeless people

Histon Guides learnt about homelessness and the problems that are associated by putting on a number of short plays about young people who have been made homeless and how this affected their life, education and out look on life and how Crisis helped out.

We have a ‘Summer Patrol Challenge’ to collect mini soaps and men’s socks which we will give to one of the men’s shelters in September.

 

We Save the Children Will You?

Every year 10 million children die before they reach their 5th birthday

 

Histon Guides looked at ways that Save the Children help out in developing countries and Took part in the Guinness Book of Records Giant Sleep Over at which they held a sponsored sing in aid of this charity.

 

Woodland Trust

Helps look after the UK’s forests and protect all things great and small that live in them

.

Histon Guides learned about food chains, tree identification, worked out the age of a hedge row and learnt about trees in general.

We are planning to plant a tree later in the year to mark the Guiding Centenary.

British Red Cross                  

Help anyone, anywhere, in an emergency

 

Histon Guides have learnt some simple first aid an how to make emergency calls.

Friends of the Earth

Get people all over the world to work together for the sake of our planet.

 

Histon Guides have been thinking about Re-Cycling - wait for the Histon Feast Parade and Flower Show.
