4. Go on loads of trips!

10. And Have Fun!

I hope that I will do all these (no matter how far fetched!

Especially get some followers as I feel like I am talking to Myself!

Type to you Soon!

104 Days to go! Lets talk camp Blankets!

I absolutely love Camp Blankets! I love the fact that you will never find two the same! They each have their own identity! They tell the story of your Guiding or Scouting story!

My Camp Blanket is nearing 100 badges! and it has three necker's on it (two from Poachers and one old Unit one)! I love it I am trying to fill it up before Y.E.L.L. but I obviously have a long way to go!
I want to see your camp blanket(s)! Post it in a comment below! and Don't forget to follow!

105 Days to go! and I have created a page!

I have just created a page on Facebook! The Page is for Y.E.L.L. and all its participants! please Like it if You are going!

Oh and I am uploading the official Y.E.L.L. Video! (its above!)

106 Days to go! and My Dad is Back!

For the past month or so my Dad has been in Australia! And he came back yesterday! He brought me back lots of badges for my Camp Blanket and He also Brought me back an Australian Guide Polo and a New Zealand Guide Polo, I love both of them!, But the New Zealand one is way too small! (so I am getting one that fits off line) so Mary got it! Nothing else much to say! But I am thinking of doing a mini Olympics between all the Driffield  units! and I want to make a badge for it incorporating the trefoil, Driffield and the 5 Olympic rings! So If you have a design leave it in a comment and if I get enough Designs I will Hold a Contest and The winner will get the Badge they designed made up for all the Guides taking part and for themselfs, and I might put them on here to sell!

109 Days to go!!! and lets tackle bullying!

I know bullies! I am a prime example of an 'easy target', I am a pacifist (someone who doesn't believe in violence) with a bad temper, a possessive attitude and extra sensitive pain receptors! therefore I am constantly bullied everyday, and until today I didn't realize how bad it was!
Yesterday I broke down because the bullying became to much, so my friend Verity took me out of History to see my form tutor (Mrs Hardesty). My form tutor calmed me down and said to try and name as many of the people as possible, but I always lose my memory when asked a direct question, so I could only name a few. Then she told me I should keep a diary about how I was getting bullied and who by, and TADAAA The Bully Book was born! and throughout today I have been filling it in, every incident big and small. And in one day I have filled three pages! That is when I realized how serious my being bullied is!

I want it to stop! NOW!
what are your opinions and experiences? Please leave a comment below!

111 Days to go!! and Silly Chilly was great!

Yesterday I came back from Silly chilly with15 badges and my sisters first camp blanket! which she loves!!

Silly Chilly was great!! We did lots of challenges in "Snoopyland" and best of all my team won, befriended a villain (Writers-block) and escaped!! Then we had a good old fashioned campfire and learn't loads of songs (that I have already forgotten!)!!! The midnight walk was amazing under the Moon!! And in the morning we played Quiditch! and I was a beater!and we went shopping at the Guide shop/portacabin! I loved it but I need to go back to bed! so bye!

113 Days to go! And today is Silly Chilly!

Before I start on about me I just though I would say thank you to everyone who helped raise over a record breaking £74million! for Red nose Day, Comic relief! Well done!! and Thank you!!!

And well today! Today I am going to Silly Chilly and I am almost packed and ready to go when the clock reaches half five! I am really excited! And no I haven't finished my Pot bag :'( so I am using the bag I was given when I started Guides (luckily its a drawstring). But anyway tonight is meant to have a huge, bright moon! which I will be camping under!! at Guideacres!! with my best friend!! YEY I AM SO EXCITED!!
with only 5 hours and 35 minutes to go before we set off!!

I will tell you about it tomorrow!!

113 Days to go!! and 1 to silly chilly!

Silly Chilly tomorrow and I am no where near being ready! I have dug out the sleeping bags and tracked down some stray winter uniform! but have not returned to the pile of calico resembling my plate bag which I need to be ready in the next twelve hours! HELP ME!!!

114 Days to go!! and not a sewing machine left!

I have just come back from guides! and I came back to a pile of unfinished sewing, that resembled a pot-bag, which needs to be finished for Silly Chilly! But without a sewing machine I am having to do it by hand and I have sewn a measly zip on in just 40 minutes! So what am I going to do?

115 days to go!! and starting a new history project!

Ok in history we are doing WW2, and today we were told to find an aspect of the war that was connected to us and our family. So I got thinking what is connected to the war that involves me and my family? Butchers (eww no way!) and that was about it untill I was looking through my recent badge swaps when I found a 1940's world badge, and I thought it was a bit strange to have a world badge during a 'world' war! and then it came to me! Girlguiding! Both my Nana's were Brownies during the War! SO now I know my topic! But I can't find anything on it! So Please HELP me!?!?! if you have a site or any information that could help me please post it in a comment below!

OOPS MY MISTAKE!

I just posted that it was 151 days untill Y.E.L.L. when it is actually just 117 days!

The Start of my Y.E.L.L.-tastic journey!

Hi I am Sarah Darley, A Guide in 1st Driffield (Parish Church) Guides!
In 151 days I will be going to Y.E.L.L! in Edinburgh, it is an official Girlguiding Event based around the 34th World conference that will be taking place in Edinburgh! I am sooooooo excited!! it is just about sending my Mum up the wall! and that is why I have started a blog about it! So for 151 days I will be posting about all my Girlguiding things that happen (related and un-related to Y.E.L.L.)!
I am also hoping that this will be my first successful  blog! With lots of followers and comments to keep me going!

Anyway in less than a week I will be going on Silly Chilly a weekend camp at Guideacres! But I still need to check my tent and other camping gear and make my pot bag! So I am looking for inspiration, please post your pictures and comments below and don't forget to follow!
