What can 4 do 4 You?
4 is an exciting peer education initiative in Girlguiding UK, and it’s all about working 4ward, 4 self, 4 others.
In4mers are peer educators who are trained to deliver fun and in4mative sessions in unit meetings to Brownies, Guides and Senior Section members. They can deliver topics and skills to girls like Bullying, Healthy Eating, Communication or Decision Making to name a few.
What 4 can do 4 you…
- Are you a Senior Section Member? You may be interested in becoming an in4mer and you can do this by attending a weekend Basic Training. This training is completely free, great fun and can count towards Duke of Edinburgh and Queen’s Guide Awards. The next Midlands Basic training is 27-29 January 2012 –see flyer. If you would like more information or future dates please email trainers@girlguiding-midlands.org.uk.
- Are you a Brownie, Guide or Senior Section Leader? In4mers can come to your unit and deliver sessions that are relevant to the girls, whilst you put your feet up for the evening! Please email trainers@girlguiding-midlands.org.uk to enquire about having an in4mer come to your unit.
- Are you organising the next County Day? Why not ask your local In4mers to come along and tell everyone in the county about 4? Contact your Region 4 co-ordinator for more details trainers@girlguiding-midlands.org.uk
If you are interested in 4 or would like more in4mation, please email trainers@girlguiding-midlands.org.uk.

Camp & Holiday Scheme and the Senior Section Permit - MEMO from UK Senior Sections Advisor
As you are all aware the Camp and Holiday Scheme review has now been completed, and the modules within have been streamlined. Unfortunately, as the Senior Section CD was reprinted prior to the completion of the Camp and Holiday Scheme review there are now some discrepancies between the Senior Section Permit modules and the Camp and Holiday Scheme modules.
We have outlined how the modules now match. Click here Please note that there is no equivalent module in the Camp and Holiday Scheme for the ‘prepare and run a mobile expedition’ module in the Senior Section Permit.
When the Senior Section CD is reprinted later this year we will ensure that the modules match up between the two schemes. Please use the below guide in the mean time.
Also I’d like to reiterate that modules completed as a Senior Section member for the Senior Section Permit can count towards the Camp and Holiday Scheme.

Queen's Guide Award Outdoor Challenge - MEMO from UK Senior Sections Advisor
This memo is to outline to you what is required of any Queen’s Guide Award participants completing the Outdoor Challenge element of the Award. It also outlines the forms that need to be completed for the Outdoor Challenge element. We know that most of you will be aware of which forms need completed but in order for us to ensure that everyone is being asked to complete the same forms we felt that it was advisable to put this into a memo.
It is important to ensure that the participant can demonstrate that they have developed teamwork, communication and networking skills as well as faced new challenges, shown participation, initiative, teamwork and leadership. Attached to this memo is the syllabus extract of the Outdoor Challenge.
