Girlguiding has had the biggest overhaul to its programme in
over 100 years. Girls and young women still follow the same ethos
and values but the programme is presented in a more up to date
way. This spans from Rainbows from age 5 through to Rangers to
age 17.
There are new activities and badges which are built around six
core themes; Know Myself, Express Myself, Be Well, Have
Adventures, Take Action and Skills for My Future. This gives girls
the opportunity to focus on connecting with other people,
exploring the world around them and to work independently.
Each section of a girl’s Guiding journey is appropriate to her age
and badges to recognise her achievements are awarded.
The most special award a Brownie Guide can obtain is The Gold
Award. 2nd Copthorne Brownies are very proud of Jessica Corbin
who was recently presented with The Gold Award.
Do something amazing – help us to
give girls in and around Copthorne
more opportunities for fun,
friendship, challenge and
adventure

The knitters of the WI have been busy making a
climate scarf. It is long and stripy, is mainly blue
at one end and has lots of red at the other end.
Each stripe represents a year, starting in 1919 and
ending in 2018. The colour of a stripe represents
the average temperature for the year with
blues for the colder years, through beige and
brown to reds for the hottest years. It shows very
graphically how the climate is changing. It’s not
the greatest piece of knitting ever - there are a
mixture of wools and it has been worked on by
a number of different people. Any knitter will tell

10th to 16th May 2020
With every gift, we help Rose
stop this climate crisis
In Kenya, the rains haven’t come. Again. For
villagers who farm the land, that means life is
getting even harder. Rivers are bone dry, and crops
wither in the fields. The drought is starving people
of food, water and the chance to earn a living.
At 67 years of age, Rose walks for six hours to
fetch water for her grandchildren. She tries hard
to give them the kind of life she remembers from
when she was a girl: when the rivers flowed with
water and the crops bore fruit.
Grandmother Rose shouldn’t have to go
hungry. A simple earth dam, built with the help
of Christian Aid’s partners and your donations,
could completely change her life. This Christian
Aid Week, you can be one of the hundreds of
thousands of our supporters who give, act and
pray to stop the climate crisis driving people like
Rose to hunger.
Act to call for a New Deal for Climate Justice to
help restore creation and build a world where
everyone can thrive.
Pray for a radical change of heart for politicians,
