Digging out ivy roots.
On Saturday 16th January Histon Guides met wrapped up warmly at the entrance to The Dole on the B1049.
Today they are starting work on their Community Action Badge for which they have to complete a minimum of 12 hours service. The topic of the badge is ‘Action for the Local Environment’.
Despite the rain a good turnout of volunteers and some parents joined the village Environment Group; the girls helped collect litter removed ivy from the trees in the area and dug up ivy roots.
The girls mastered the use of spades, folks, secateurs, brooms and litter pickers and all worked very well and enjoyed themselves in the wet.
Half way through the morning we broke off of hot chocolate and biscuits.
This was a fantastic beginning to our badge work.

Warming up with Hot Chocolate after a fantastic mornings work. Well done.
That looks like really hard work, well done everyone. What’s next?
Great to see so many guides. You are a great bunch and certainly seemed to enjoy getting the ivy down!
Please pass on our thanks and say that we’d love to see you all again this Saturday for some more of the same.
Cheers,
