A Guiding Adventure

A Spark mom emailed me a month-ish ago saying that her mom requested to know how many Sparks and leaders were there because she wanted to make everyone a mask. They got dropped today.. LOOK AT HOW SMALL THE SPARKS ONES ARE!! Such nice masks!!

This is Thinking Day in Edmonton. A bridge lit up and thousands of sisters sharing in Sisterhood.

Story time! On our first full day in Newfoundland, we were walking this boardwalk in Gros Morne National Park to go on a boat tour on a “pond”.. Walking back to our bus (in matching attire) a lady walking the other way said that a lady was coming by taking photos for google street view. So we purposely stopped at the side of the path to get our time “in the spotlight” We finally got it 8 months later when Google streetview was updated.

It wouldn’t be a Girl Guide weekend without some singing. This song was a favourite of mine beforehand but now I can’t not sing along!

Some of the best outdoors I’ve experienced. And some of the scariest. That thunderstorm was something else. 😨

Twice a year, Girl Guides across Canada sell cookies. It’s a tradition!

Or the capelin fish I ate a week later..

My Girls. My Gang. Love them dearly.

The one and only international experience with Girl Guides. 12 days in London and the English countyside at Olave 2015.

Throwback to my Junior leading (Spark Helpers) days.

This weekend was an adventure from start to end. And we laughed all the way through. One of my fondest Guiding memories.

I can’t find any photos of a salute to the organization so it’s an international salute to my homeland.

Does this count as a game? I’m gonna count this.

Although this exact photo isn’t leadership to me, this event was leadership to me. Leaders in every walk of life with a commonality. This organization. Coming together to share our stories, our journeys and how we are changing our little corners of the world.

Pretty much my pride and joy. And super warm and heavy to sleep under on these cold nights.
