A GUIDE unit camped by the seaside to mark Girlguiding’s centenary thanks to a community grant from Welwyn Hatfield Council.
The girls from the 11th WGC Guide Company spent five days in Bournemouth taking part in the usual camping skills as well as a trip to the beach.
The guides, who usually pick a campsite within Hertfordshire, also got to try archery and rock climbing as well.
The youngsters were given a grant by Welwyn Hatfield Council to cover the cost of the coach to take them to and from the site.
Guider Emily Coultas said: “We wanted to do something extra special to mark the centenary, so decided a camp by the coast would be fun for the girls.
“Thanks to the council’s grant we were able to pay for the coach to get us there and we all had a great time too.”
