Bethany Smith and Emma Brown, both Ranger Leaders in Burley, were presented with their Queen’s Guide Awards by our Division Commissioner Annette Hattersley. The Queen’s Guide Award is the highest award in Guiding and Bethany and Emma are part of a group of only three Queen’s Guides in Burley.
All the girls and leaders of 1st Burley Brownie would like to thank everyone who donated books, pens, footballs and other gifts to Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe. Sharon the group leader has just returned from visiting the school where the gifts were very gratefully received, “It was wonderful to be able to see the difference the Brownies have been able to make over the last 12 years through the £8000 they have raised so far. There is much still to do and we would welcome support from anyone who would like to help us with our fundraising efforts”. If you would like to help please email Sharon Hattersley 1stburleybrownies@gmail.co

It is a landmark that sums up a very French spirit which has found its way to a Yorkshire village ahead of the arrival of the Tour de France Grand Départ in the region this weekend.
Charles Prest is pictured with a model of the Eiffel Tower which he has built in his garden in Burley in Wharfedale, near Leeds, a village the world’s leading riders will pass through on Saturday.
Burley-in-Wharfedale Scouts and Guides raised an impressive £1,300 towards their project of fundraising for a new headquarters when they toured the village with the Santa Sleigh. Leaders, parents and members braved the wind and rain giving villagers the opportunity to see Santa. The tradition remains very popular with adults and children alike. Many children waited up to see Santa, some even came out to greet him in their pyjamas, and giving him letters, hopefully making their wishes come true.
