Hi, I’m Em, SSAGO secretary for 2008-2009. I am currently a member of Cardiff SSAGS, completing a MSc course this year and going onto a PhD in Agri-Food next year. You may also hear of me as Granny SSWIG, having been a member of SSWIGS throughout my 3 years as an undergrad at Swansea University.

I’ve been involved in Guiding since I was 7 and now help with a Brownie Unit in Cardiff. Whilst I am a Guide at I heart, I have through SSWIGS/SSAGO connections taken part in a number of Scouting events-from being Sub camp leader at AWESOME, the welsh Explorer Scout Camp to being IST at the World Jamboree last summer.

Within SSAGO I’ve been Social Secretary and President of SSWIGS, Secretary/Chair of the 2007 Steering Group and Chair of the 2007 Summer Event. This year I hope to help promote SSAGO to the grassroots level of leaders, raising the awareness of what it is and what we do amongst counties far and wide in the UK. I would also like to see some support material created for those starting up new clubs, having experienced this at Swansea I hope to be able to bring help and ideas for such clubs.

I hope you have a great year in SSAGO and please get in contact if you need any SSAGO related help!
