Australia Day Jan 26th at the Churchill Public Hall.

Starting usually a 7am this local event is now being held at the Churchill Public Hall Entrance. Pre 2009 there were different places but it was mainly  in the Hazelwood and Churchill Shopping Center area. [behind the memorial wall, [cigar] behind the saloon bar [no longer there] in the car park.... (theory of this is great)] Or even at Gaskin Park (2008).

As a Hazelwood and Churchill Event it is open to all aged Guiding personal and members. Event permission forms should be handed to the Guide Leader in Charge of the Guides on the day... signed by parent or carrer.

Previous years we have been asked to face paint as an activity while people eat and catch up with friends.  Other times there have been odd jobs like the handing out of flags, song sheets, readings, hoisting the flag / colour party [with Scouts]. 

One draw back here is that we ususally do not get finalisation of anything until the week before.  When we do it will be posted here.  So keep an eye out and email us when if you think you are coming.

Australia Day in Melbourne

Australia Day celebrated as a State Event in Melbourne. This event has the Guides carrying a large Australian Flag.  For this the day is primarily aimed at the BP's, Queens Guide's and OBPs presented the previous year.  The years that I took Guides down who had achieved these Peak Achievement we had a ball.  At the end of the march there we were in Government gardens joining in the festivities.

Full Uniform is worn.  Take drink bottles full of water and sun hats.  Make sure you are well fed before the ceremonies begin.

Next Cards and Tags

Cards and Tags.

Every so often the Guides want to be creative.  Making cards and gift tags is a simple fun way to let the creative juices and communication begin.  Work the creativity around a theme. Take photos along the way.  Safety of equipment, respect of other people and their endeavours, culture and outlooks is encouraged. It is amazing how the Promise and Laws discussion may fit through this activity.

To make flat for cards or tags you will need:

•  card to make head and feet
•  eyes (draw or purchase)
•  a little wool to make hair
• 1 pretty doily
• drawing or painting stuff.
• Glitter and a 'Large' ground sheet.
• glue

Instructions:

Fold the doily as per the illustration and glue feet under the

doily. Draw or attach features and hair to the head. Glue the

head in place and use to decorate Christmas cards, gift tags

and so on.

Playdough

Great recipe for teaching kitchen safety even with the youngest of Guides.  However best done on a camp or all day activity as the dough needs time to cool down before use.

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cooking salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon of cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
• Food colouring

Mix the flour, water, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan over medium heat until thick. Allow the mixture to cool and then add the oil and knead well over a floured cutting board or similar. Divide this blob evenly into as many colours as you'd like to make. Add food colouring to each ball until it is just the colour your child is looking for. That's it! Allow the children to let their imaginations take them away.

Edible Finger Paints.

Even the older Youth members still enjoy using this paint mix.  They however use it for other adventures.

• 4 tablespoons of sugar
• 1/2 cup of cornflour
• 3 cups cold water
• Food colouring

Stir sugar and cornflour together. While stirring, slowly add water and heat over medium heat until mixture thickens. It will thicken further when it cools. Divide into four containers and add food colouring. Dip in.
