Six Girlguiding members are, each year, embarking on a Guiding Overseas Linked with Development (GOLD) project in Aruba. 2019 is the fourth year of this project.
After 6 project days and training sessions involving leaders, Padvindsters, board members and other community organisations, it was time for a well earned rest. Before our departure, a lot of us had been tagged in a viral video of Flamingo Beach, Aruba, that did its rounds on Facebook - therefore, this was the prime opportunity to see it for ourselves. We made a video to share this once in a lifetime experience with all our friends and family. Check out our video from Baby (Flamingo) Beach...
With a day on the beach, it was also a chance to make some headway on team member challenges. Laura read a chapter of her book, Amy liberally applied sun cream to avoid getting burnt, Rachel added to her animal selfies collection, Helen practised her handstand and we all joined Bridget with a spot of beach yoga. Here's some photographic evidence:
Now we are preparing for our camp this weekend with the Padvindsters and Pioneers. We'll have another update on how it all went on Monday.
