And then the Promise

Since Samar had one week earlier previously made her Promise Rebbecca was able to make her promise to Sumar.

The Ceremony was relatively simple. Which was good as by the time the fireworks finished the wind had gotten a cold chill factors in it.  We were all shivering.  Rebecca had chosen to make her Promise at the Trafalgar Fireworks evening

 Samar reaffirmed her promise.  Then as president of the Gipp's guides Samar asked Rebbecca to step forward.  Rebbecca confirmed that Yes she was ready to make her Girl Guide promise.  And yes she would appreciate the support of all there while she made her promise.  

Once made Samar then pinned on Rebecca's Promise Badge as well as presenting Rebbecca with the Olave Baden-Powell bar.

Rebecca made a comment later in the evening which sums up making a Promise well.  "I did not relaise just bhow making your Promise makes you feel inside.  It's like Wow!".

Now of course both Samar and Rebecca may start on their chosen OBP journey.

Clara making her Promise

Clara made her Girl Guide Promise while attending a Hazelwood and Churchill Guide District Presentation award night.

Who can deny..

Yum. Ice cream.  Especially delicious when the day is hot and the night activities seem so far away.

Sumars promise

Last meeting Samar made her Promise.  And then the thunder rumbled all around in one big clap as we all reaffirmed our Promise along with Samar as she made hers.  Amazingly this thunder overpowered all voices as we identified and voiced our own Superior Being.  'He' had the last say.

An overview of the Olave Program , the Olave Registation and the syllabus for the Olave-Baden Powell Award was handed out.

There's going to be a lot happening over the next few years once the Gipps Guides gets under way.
