THREE members of 1st Marden Guides were presented with their Baden Powell Challenge Awards recently.

This is the highest award that a Guide can earn.

To complete the challenge, they had to complete 10 challenges, including learning some new crafts, making a camp cookbook, organising an international evening for the rest of the group, and raising money with a bric-a-brac stall at the church fete.

They finished off the challenge by going on a Baden Powell Adventure weekend where they joined girls from all over the county for an adventurous activity weekend.

They worked hard to gain their awards, and the troop are very proud of them. The girls are pictured after the award ceremony.
