Summer Girl Guide Camp

Lones Pathfinders

Who are Lones Pathfinders?

This video was created by a Pathfinder in the Lones program of Girl Guides of Canada.

77th Pathfinders Head to Ottawa

Some of our Pathfinders are in Ottawa this weekend to volunteer at the National Remembrance Day Service. 

Hopefully our unit has many more such opportunities and more of our girls will be able to take part.

Kick Start - Bike Hike & Deer

Thanks to Zara for her good eyes!

I didn't have my camera ready, but if you look real close you can see the 2 deer that Zara spotted in this photo.

And here are all the girls, including the 64th Guides and our Leaders, on our bike hike.

We're off to a great start.

The LARGE cake before we cut and served.




Miss Canada - did you know she was a SPARK?  :)  She remembers the pink uniform tshirt!

 Jaclyn Miles - Miss Canada 2012, was in attendance - she remembers being a member of Girl Guides when she was in SPARKS - she remembers the pink uniform tshirt.  She asked us to come see her on Canada Day, July 1st, at Harris Park.  Be sure to look for her if you go! 


Girl Guide volunteers - Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers



with the Army bear mascot (sadly we didn't have Olave, our bear, there to meet him)

 We had the opportunity to have our photo taken several times before the event began!!


We met Mary, a Junior Scout in GSUSA
visiting from Texas - she gave us peanut butter cookies
to try! So we'll taste them at camp!  Thanks Mary!




CTV news crew ... we casually walked
where they were filming and we'll have to see
if we're on the news!!




Green Icing on the cake for Pathfinders!! 
Coincidence??


And we had a chance to have a piece of cake, and to serve cake to those seated watching the event.

Did you watch the CTV local news? There were Melissa & Rachel, waving the Queens Jubilee flags!!  Way to go!!
