Help shape the future of YOUR Gilrguiding UK!

Six SSAGO members were among 150 Senior Section members who recently attended Innovate York, Girlguiding UK’s youth forum event, held from 30th March-2nd April 2007, in the picturesque location of the University of York.

Helen Foy, a member of UEA’s SSAGO group, said: “It was great to meet other Senior Section members from around the country and hear their opinions. I made loads of friends and I’ll definitely be going back!”

AberSSAGO member, Rebecca Elliot, agrees; “Innovate York really made me feel a part of Girlguiding UK as a whole. It made me realise that I could have a say in countrywide issues and not just those affecting my unit or district. I was able to express my opinions and ideas freely and in a comfortable environment”.

For Rosie Greaves, a member of BUGS in Bangor, Innovate even gave her the chance to catch up with some old friends and maintain Guiding links whilst studying abroad in France. She flew back to the UK to attend the “immense” weekend and particularly enjoyed “Yomping around York” on Saturday afternoon, visiting York Minster and a sweet shop!

Innovate is a weekend residential event that is held every approximately every eight months and is open to any female member of SSAGO aged 16-25. The next event will be held in March 2008 – to find out more check out the Senior Section pages on www.girlguiding.org.uk or email innovate -AT- girlguiding.org.uk

On the 10th March 2007 the Students of Liverpool Association of Guides and Scouts hosted the National SSAGO Ball at The Suites Hotel, Knowsley. The event was to celebrate many birthdays but mainly the 40th Anniversary of SSAGO and the 800th Birthday of Liverpool.

Planning the event had a shaky start and many hours were spent pouring over details and problems that could have been solved easily. After much consultation and deliberation things began to come together and by the time booking opened things started to improve.

The day arrived and SLAGS were a buzz of nerves and energy. The previous evening had been spent celebrating a member’s birthday so we were all bright eyed and bushy tailed (ha!) However, cake and chocolate fountain preparations were in place so we were ready to face the masses. As people began to arrive and settle into their rooms disbelieve set in that we might actually be able to pull this off. Problems arose, tempers flared but we still carried on.

Seeing everyone dressed so smartly and looking so different was a real treat and I’m sure the photos prove it. Also to see the mascots in all their glory was fabulous. Stanette certainly had a few adventures but made it back home safe and sound. We’d like to say a huge thank you to our guest speakers, the hotels and especially those who attended the ball and supported throughout the process.

S.L.A.G.S.

P.S. Good luck to Sheffield for 2008.

Since February Rally the club has had many challenges, mainly in the form of the Liverpool SSAGO Ball. Luckily things went well and we’d like to thank all who supported us and we hope you had a great night. Stanette certainly had an eventful time!

Since then the club has been recovering with a series of entertaining activities such as being shush-ed at bingo, being creative with crafts, a very amusing poker night, card games galore, picnics in the park (well it would have been if it hadn’t rained) and ditto with a trip to the beach.

Our AGM went successfully although we have had to re-arrange our job roles due to a large amount of people graduating this year. Our club will be small at the start the next academic year but we hope to continue by gaining more members and expanding our activities.

Were you a SSAGO member?? If so, read on ….

In 2007, Scouting will be 100 years old and the Student Scout and Guide Organisation (SSAGO) is 40 years old.

Although it is SSAGOs birthday in February, we are keen to hear from members who were involved prior to 1967 or subsequently in independent Student Scout and Guide Clubs.

SSAGO has always liked having a good time, and 2007 will be no different. A special reunion rally is planned for early July, which promises to be the best summer rally ever!!! Other events including a formal ball are currently being finalised. Even if you have no interest in coming along to a rally or other event, we are still keen to find out more about SSAGOs past.

If you wish to find out more information about SSAGO 2007, please email ssago2007event@googlemail.com . It would help if you could give the following information, name, involvement in SSAGO (which club you were in club, a rough guess at the years you were involved), a contact email or/and postal address, what you are doing now and how you would like to be involved.

Yours in Scouting and Guiding
