Stuck in as boat with choc biscuits and our Unit flag.

It was just too hot to do much. Having to run Guides inside was a horrible thought.  So the Guides found an area of shade under a big tree... in the dingy. As a get to know one another exercise they played in and around the dingy.  Cordial and chocolate biscuits were supplied and they went fast.  [In between the talking that is.]

Then out came the flags.  The first was the old Unit flag for when the Hazelwood Guides meet. Designed by the Guides.  Various Guides, parents and leaders created the flag. Probably why the colours are a pink background with light blue wide ribbon obtuse angles stripes and bright pink and lime green 4 to 5 cm circles sewn on both sides.

  These current Guides chose to recycle the flag and use it at all meetings were their ages were. it also meant that they did not have to make one too.  The empty  Flag pole from the Morwell Guide District,  which were donated to the Hazelwood and Churchill Guide District that week, were recycled too.  Now they hold this flag. Okay with that.

 Since the Guides are receptive to learning about flags, and the decision was theres various flag learning objectives struck  Strategies for learning and using this flag were implemented.  The Guides were also interested in learning about other flags, the protocol, ceremonies, care of flags, and of course what do you do with them?
