Brookvale Guiding

🌟 Brookvale’s Got Talent! 🌟

Over the past few weeks, our Brownies and Guides have been busy rehearsing for the Brookvale’s Got Talent Show. From clarinets and pianos to singers, dancers, and everything in between, every girl shone on stage showing confidence, creativity, and pure Brookvale spirit.

One of our wonderful Guide Leaders even wrote a poem that captures exactly what makes our unit so special and we just had to share it with you.

A Poem for Brookvale Guides

I’m proud to say with so much zest,
That Brookvale Guides are the best!
Come rain or shine we meet each week,
Busy making memories that we’re sure to keep.
Crafting, cooking, and trips out too,
All whilst earning badges… we like a few!

Ellie loves football, she's quick on her feet,
Scoring those goals – she can't be beat!
Freya's smile lights up the day,
She cheers us on in every way.
Eliza's friendly, kind, and true,
She'll always find the best in you.
Freya's quiet but finding her way,
She grows more confident with every day.
Sophie's the one who knows all the facts,
From stars to science — she's got our backs!
Imogen and Orla? Oh, what a pair!
Chatting away without a care.
Ivy and Chloe tumble and twist,
Gymnastics stars — you get the gist!
Tilly's got energy, bouncing around,
She lifts our spirits when we're hall bound.
Clara's the sensible one of our crew,
A leader in the making — it’s true!

This talent show was just for fun,
We saw your talents before we begun.
We learn to lead and we learn to care,
To face new things and always dare,
To speak up loud, to stand up tall,
To know that girls can do it all!

This summer, two of our Rangers joined girls from across Hampshire North for an unforgettable adventure with the Rona Sailing Project. They spent four days living and working together aboard the yacht Merrilyn, learning to hoist sails, take the helm, and keep the crew fuelled with meals at sea.

The trip was about more than just sailing: it was about teamwork, resilience, and confidence. We’re so proud of them both for stepping out of their comfort zone, embracing the challenge, and proving that girls can do anything.

That’s a wrap on another amazing year at Brookvale Guiding!

We ended the term with a bang, zorbs, axe throwing, water games, tie-dye, picnics and plenty of laughter in the park.Thank you to all our girls, volunteers and families for making it so special.

Want to join us for our next adventure? We welcome girls aged 4 to 18 across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. Get in touch at [email protected] to find out more!
