Join fellow Queen Guide’s award alumni to share your memories of doing the award, as well as of guiding in general. There will be displays of photos from the awards throughout the years, as well as details of how the award programme has changed.
We’re inviting any member, past or present, who has earned or who is working towards their Queen’s Guide award. This would include holders of the pre 1985 version which was earned in Guides.
