Guiding Heritage
Have Fun with Guiding Heritage!
The Archives volunteers have prepared some resources for
Brownie and Guide leaders to use with their units. As a
lead-up to our 100th Anniversary in 2010, you might want
to get your girls “in the mood” with these
heritage activities!
If you are interested in booking any of these items, or
if you require further information, please contact archives.adviser@guidesontario.org and we will make arrangements with you directly.
1. HERITAGE UNIFORMS FOR RENT
•
32 Guide uniforms, dating from 1910 – 1987
•
32 Brownie uniforms dating from 1914-1993
•
45 adult uniforms dating from 1910 to 1994.
The rental fee for uniforms is $10 each or 10 for $70.
The fee covers return postage, handling, and any necessary
repairs and cleaning upon return. Order what you need and
enjoy a heritage “dress up” with the girls.
Then pack up the uniforms, seal the box, apply the label
and postage, and send it back. Simple!
2. HERITAGE PROGRAM BOXES – Guides and Brownies
It’s a meeting in a box with a range of activities
from the past! The girls will learn what Brownies and Guides
did in their grandmothers’ day. The Guider’s
Packet in each box explains the activities, and shows how
they relate to today’s program. All games and activities
are intended to support the Guide or Brownie program now,
as in the past. The charge to rent a box is $20. This charge
will cover return shipping to and from Toronto, and replacement
of craft supplies that are used by the unit. An additional
charge will be levied for damaged or missing items as necessary
after the box is returned.
Included in the box are:
•
stalking games
•
bean bag games
•
observation and memory games
•
badge bingo (highlighting badges of 50 years ago)
•
semaphore craft
•
heritage uniform for the girls to model
instructions on how to tie the uniform tie, and extra ties
for the girls to practice the skill they needed to know
in grandma’s time
Some of the activities can be done as a group, and some
lend themselves to a round-robin format. There is more
material than could be used in a single meeting, so Guiders
can choose the activities that they think their group would
enjoy the most.
If you are interested in booking any of these items, or
if you require further information, please contact archives.adviser@guidesontario.org and we will make arrangements with you directly.
