17th Holborn Scouts & Guides at Great Ormond Street Hospital

13/11/2025

Happy World Kindness Day!
Why not practice & learn kindness by meeting us at 17th Holborn this Saturday. Scouting & Guiding teaches children how to be kind, respectful of others & their environment and helps their members develop new skills.

This month, we are continuing to work on our DIY & construction badges, whilst adding in the Mechanic badge for our members who were with us last month. See you all there! 🧱🚗🔧

We had a fabulous time doing the Construction / DIY badges today 🚧 ! We found lots of different materials 🧱 and thought about what we could make with them, practiced using hammers 🔨 and screwdrivers 🪛 (with PPE 🥽 of course!) and making sturdy structures with playing cards🃏!

Thank you to all the children who came and spent time with us in The Cove … we had lots of fun & hope you all did too! Looking forward to seeing more children at our meeting next month!

Bring yourself back into the moment by practising mindfulness. By noticing things around us and paying attention to the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the present moment we can pull our thoughts away from worry and stress. In our Take 10 resources we've got activities to bring all sections peace and calm: https://www.girlguidinglaser.org.uk/what-we-do/champions

Easter is a time to reflect and pay thanks - you may go to a church service to remember Jesus, make small crosses from palm leaves or eat Easter eggs, which can symbolise new life.

However you're marking the next few days, we're wishing you a peaceful and joyous Easter time 🌷
