Guiding Recharge
>> Monday, May 09, 2011
I've been and had my Guiding batteries recharged. I go into the garage once a year for this purpose.
Each year I go, a little jaded and wondering how long I can carry on doing this Guiding malarkey. Do I really want to turn up again and again to support children that aren't mine, often with demanding parents that think it is 'a right', do I really want to keep on giving up my time, energy and often money for this?
Each year I come back thoroughly charged, reminded of exactly why I want to do it, how much fun it is and what an incredible bunch of women all 100,000 of us adult leaders are.
We give girls and young women a voice. We give them wings and they fly. And I get the biggest buzz there is watching them take off.
