Guides Moan

[2stixoftwix]

My dd started guides last June, it started off really fun, doing high ropes, crabbing, survival skills

Autumn term, they did 1 x dusk walk the rest of the time they were in the guide hut.
this term they are in the guide hut every week doing things like minion mayhem and selfie challenge.

Is this usual for guides ?, my dd wanted to start scouts but it was really rough and put her off as there were 3 girls and about 25 boys whacking each other

within a mile we have a climbing wall, swimming pool, water skiing, yachting, fabulous walks, canoeing - the list goes on and on .........

I don't want to complain as I know the leaders do it for nothing, but really - a whole evening doing loom bands - I was told that guides was boring, but I'm amazed how dull it is.

What can I do - who can I tactfully write to - advice please !

That sounds over the top not letting them take their cookies home.

I'm naturally messy, but these things happen. That's why we clean up afterwards.

Really depends on how the flour ended up on the floor. Pure accident, a bit harsh. Being silly, mucking about after being told not to, fighting over it etc - fair enough. They should be old enough to accept that by the time they reach Guides.
DD only started Guides after Christmas but is loving it so far. They seem to have evenings when they do things as a whole unit, and other evenings where they do things in their patrols which have they decided to do them selves, picked from the Go For It challenge they are all doing this term. They have also had a trip swimming and are doing a comic relief thing this week.
