Rainbow Towers
We are stacking up cups to make a really tall tower. It was really hard because it kept on falling over when we put the last cup on the top. It was fun. This tower earned us 5 points towards our Adventure 100 badge. We tried really hard to make the biggest tower. We lerned that if we used too many cups the whole thing would fall over.

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.

2010 Time: 23:31The Four Red Riding Hoods Pantomime
2nd Histon Brownies put on a pantomime for family and friends. It was the Four Riding Hoods and not only was there Red Riding Hood, but Yellow, Green and Blue Ridiung Hood as well. There were 2 Grandmas, a Queen, A Wolf (of course) and lots of friends. It was the girls birthday and it all started to go wrong when the Wolf won the fancy dress competition and Grandma Bones and Grandma Cuddles had a handbag fight in the forest. The Woodland Creatures watched as the Wolf chased everyone round and round and got more and more tangled up in Grandma Cuddles knitting wool. He was soon captures by the triumphant Riding Hoods. Everyone celebrated at the end, except the Wolf who was rather sick from eating too much birthday cake.
Here are some photos from our performance.
