The place to be last weekend was Pettypool Lodge, where we found out more about Streamline and the GO! database.
Designed to make life for all leaders and Commissioners much less ruled by forms, giving them more time to spend on Guiding activities. Did you know 2009 was the last paper census, did you know you will be able to update your own records, did you know the GO! database will ensure security for all our personal information? If you can answer 'Yes' to these questions you must have been there, if not don't worry, more information will be available via Forest News, the County website and Guiding magazine. Many thanks to Janet Grant and her team for running such an informative weekend, with lots of cake and coffee to fuel the little grey cells.
In contrast to last week I spent two evenings with new Commissioners, who had said 'yes', going through their training programme. I think I need to find a way to bottle their enthusiasm to support the leaders and girls in their areas, it is definitely good for the Guiding soul.
Speaking of which, this weekend is the time of year that touches the heart of everyone involved with Guiding. Thinking Day embodies three essences of Guiding; International, Heritage and the Promise. Wherever and however you celebrate have a wonderful Thinking Day. I'll let you know how I marked the occasion next time.
