EE tial GEES Adis ASE dil EEL ibaa nai dt UiSb SSS i SR i ES ES TL 34 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, May 2, 1989 Guiding update: creating Sparks! by Heather McCrae Sparks - what does this mean to you? In the Guiding World Sparks means a group of Guidings newest and youngest members, a program for five year olds! There are always new things to learn in preparing to become a Brownie and Sparks is now officially the new program. Sparks groups are becoming more popular all over this country, thus the Guiding Association is ever growing and changing with the times! Just over two years age, Wednesday, April 8, 1987, to be ex- act, this date will be remembered as an historic date for the Girl Guides of Canada. This was the day Canadian Guiding's new look was officially introduced. It had been twenty-three years since the girls uniform was designed and thirteen years since the last design change for the adult uniform so it was time for a change. One of Canada's foremost _ fashion designers, Alfred Sung, was commissioned to design the new uniform for all members of Guiding and Voila (!) on April 8th the new look was officially in- troduced! The 'old' uniforms are still acceptable until 1990. Girl Guides of Canada - Guides de Canada - is a vital, vibrant and contemporary organization and these new uniforms help project this image. Those popular Girl Guide cookies have arrived. Extra cookies had been ordered so if you didn't have an opportunity to order these popular treats vou can purchase them now by telephoning the District Commis- sioner, Marg Prentice, at 985-3726. The Cookie Campaign is a major fund-raiser for Brownies, Girl Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers across Canada, so if you can, please show your support and purchase these cookies at $2.25 a box. The Fourth Port Perry Guides visited the Fourth Port Perry Brownies before Easter. The guests planned the entire Brownie meeting which included an Easter egg hunt, craft, snack, songs and games! Mary Holt, known to many as her piano teacher, visited the Fourth Port Perry Bownies at their first meeting in April to teach the girls their Singer's Badge. Once again the sound of Music came to the Scugog area as Mary taught the girls a 'round song' - Frere Jac- ques; a Canadian song which was an Iroquois lullaby and two 'ac- tion' songs, "Hello, my name is Joe" and "You Gotta Love a Little!" Our District Guider, Carol Fagel, visited the Third Port Perry Brownies last month teaching them the Golden Hand and how to use a compass. These girlshavek 1a busy month with a lot of work and an abundance of fun. Most of the girls went to Brown Owl's house to work on their Puppeteer and Toymaker's badges. A 'bird watch' walk was also planned but the girls found more mud than birds thanks to our damp Spring! The Fire Safe- ty badge has been worked on also with the assistance of volunteer fireman Ron Cardingley from Ux- bridge. Megan Squires was the top cookies sales person, taking orders for one hundred and eight (108) boxes. Another top cookie salesperson is Karen Wilson of the First Port Perry Guide Company, taking orders for 152 boxes. Con- gratulations Meaghan and Karen! On the weekend of April 14th Camp Samac was visited by an adventuresome group of Guides from the First and Second Guide Companies and their leaders. Everyone worked on trails, stalk- .ing, compass work plus crafts for camp hats and fun, fun, fun and little sleep. When the girls and leaders attend a camp everyone benefits as you're always learn- ing more about comping, people and each other! On Saturday, March 4th, the First Port Perry Pathfinders were tested on rescue reaching assists and artificial respiration at Uxpool. Afterwards the girls enjoyed a pizza supper and sleep- over at the Kinsmen Hall. Clare Stainton and Marg Prentice were the lucky chaperones and all reportedly had a fun time. The Island Guides visited the Fire Hall in March where two of Scugog's firemen, Paul Dick and Stewart Houthuys, gave a demonstrative talk on fire prevention and emergency pro- cedures. In April these girls work- ed on their Law Awareness badge. These Guides from 1st Port Perry, 2nd Seagrave and 4th Port Perry received their all- round Cords at the United Church Sunday afternoon.
