Well the time has come for the final blog post of 2019!
GOLD Team Aruba 2019 met up to debrief on our experience and share our journey through Aruba with the other GOLD teams.
A few of our highlights included:
Developing the programme committee, as we know you will take the APG forward.
Our island tours and getting to see so many beautiful places (and the pet cemetery)
Who can forget the festival and the Lionfish!
And...Most importantly, the installation and seeing all the leaders commit to the APG.
At the debrief weekend, much like our final training sessions in Aruba, we personally reflected on what's next for us. This was helped through discussions on the training qualification, peer education and giving back to guiding. We also had some action planning time and thought about what we wanted to achieve, both personally and within Guiding.
It was great reflecting back; we learnt from each other during the project, (more Brownie groups now play Giraffe Elephant Toaster than previously). We also learned from the APG what can be achieved with an open minded group. We've shared our learnings and our experiences locally through newsletters, visiting units and selling more badges.
It’s great to see Kung Fu Jungle (the one with the money, tiger and snake!) being used in units and all of your other adventures shared on social media (maybe you could give some of us some social media training for using within our units!)
We have every confidence in the APG delivering their handbook and programme ahead of GOLD 2020 given the determination of everyone on the programme committee. Good Luck to you all, Thank you for your hospitality and have a great 2020!
