On Saturday 20th May 3rd Henlow Guides set off on their own mini version in support of the Playtex Moonwalk.
Wearing either bras over the top of their T-shirts or pink t-shirts they braved the wind and the rain undaunted in their determination to raise money for breast cancer research.

After being dropped off at Meppershall they walked over fields and roads to Shefford where they stopped off for a welcome bag of chips before heading towards Clifton. The rain held off for most of the journey although it was muddy and wet underfoot.

They were then welcomed warmly at the Engineers Arms where they rattled their pink collecting bucket at the unsuspecting but generous customers. Then over the road to Raynsford School for a sleepover in the school hall! Undefeated by their long walk they stayed up til 2.30am chatting and laughing and having a good time.

A cheques for around £100.00 will be sent to the charity on behalf of 3rd Henlow Guides. With thanks to Kevin and Claire at The Engineers Arms and also Raynsford Lower School for allowing them to use the school for the "after party".

On Sunday 1st July, over 70 the East Bedfordshire Rainbows celebrated their 20th Birthday by having a Cowboys and Indians party at Raynsford Lower School in Henlow.

The weather forecast was not good, but turned out to be very kind to us on the day and the Rainbows were able to paint their Wigwams outside and also the boxes that made up the totem pole.
Each of the 9 Units wore a different colour and this theme continued into the head dresses that they made and the face painting that they were all able to have.
When the skies did darken we went into the school hall, to sit around the totem pole, and after enjoying their rainbow coloured cakes, were entertained by Gerry Pope and sang lots of songs.
All of the Rainbows had a great day and special thanks must go to all of the Guiders and associated helpers who took part in the organisation of the day and also those who gave up their Sunday afternoon; Anne and Adrian Maynard who cooked the hotdogs and hamburgers and special thanks to the headmistress of Raynsford Lower School for allowing us the use of the school at very short notice, when we decided it was not worth the risk of rain at Boyd field

The 1st Chicksands Rainbows raised £50 during their World Thinking Day celebrations by taking part in the Bedfordshire Girl Guiding event 'Tea in Beds'. The 10 girls, aged 5-7 years, invited their families for tea and cake during their normal weekly meeting on the 19th February 2008. The Rainbows themselves looked after their guests by selling raffle tickets, taking orders and serving the cakes. The money raised from the raffle and kind donations will go to the World Thinking Day Fund, which will support the work of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in developing guiding around the world.
