South Division take part in a sleepover at the Luton Mall
Imagine a Saturday night, 150 girls and boys all sleeping
"rough" in The mall in Luton. Well that's just what
Luton Scouts and Guides did. The object was to raise awareness
in NOAH, who seek to help the most disadvantaged in the local
community. The young people taking part raised money by getting
friends and family to sponsor them to sleep in the Mall over
night. During the Saturday evening they took part in activities
raising awareness of the plight of homeless and disadvantaged
people in the Luton area.

Haverings
Luton
South Division is privileged to own Haverings.
Training centre, Pack Holiday home and camping ground. This provides
significant benefits for Luton South Division Brownies, Guides and
Rainbows but also brings with it a heavy responsibility to ensure
that the rest of the Guiding community can benefit from this valuable
resource. This responsibility is undertaken by a group of volunteers
including Division Guiders and helpers and relatives and friends.

Haverings
Work Programme
Haverings gives pleasure
to many people but it also requires a lot of upkeep. We would
like to thank our many members and supporters, without whose help
we would not be able to keep Haverings looking so good. We have
recently replaced all the doors, windows and guttering. We are
curently putting our main efforts into restoring the woodland.
One of our projects underway is to define a pathway through the
woods and to hopefully put signs up to inform visitors of the
many varied trees, plants and wildlife that lives in the woods.
We
recently extended Haverings our Pack Holiday Home and Camping
Ground.

LOCAL
GUIDES A BACK STAGE HIT WITH BLAZIN SQUAD
Wembley Arena holds Girlguiding UK's Big Gig
Local Guides from Luton South Division were among the lucky chosen
ones to go back stage and meet with pop's biggest celebs. On Saturday
11th October, 11,000 Guides saw their favourite pop stars perform
exclusively for Girlguiding UK at Wembley Arena. But it was some
of the girls from Luton who got to mingle back stage with the acts.
The girls mixed with pop pin-ups Blazin Squad, Lemar, Atomic Kitten,
Liberty X, D-Side, Holly Valance, David Sneddon, Lisa Scott-Lee,
Sinead Quinn, Mark Owen, Jamelia and not forgetting those Cheeky
Girls.
Tickets for the Big Gig sold out within a record time of 90 minutes,
not even Justin Timberlake could top that one. There are 133,000
Guides across the UK, enough to fill Wembley 12 times!
As a local leader said "It was a fantastic event, not just
for the girls but for us adults too. Guiding always keeps me young!
The atmosphere was unbelievable and seeing the girls faces when
they were talking to Lemar and all of Blazin Squad makes being a
part of Guiding so worthwhile."
Sarah a Young Leader in Luton South Division, said "The concert
was amazing. I was so excited when I actually met Blazin Squad.
It was the best day ever and one I'll never forget!"
