Maidstone Pathfinders-Rangers are excited to embark on their long-awaited trip July 14 to 28. What started three years ago as an international trip to Switzerland and Italy was postponed due to COVID, changed to England and France, and eventually had to become a national excursion due to strict GGC rules. The five girls and two leaders are heading east to Toronto, Niagara Falls, Montreal and then three Maritime provinces. They’ll take in a Blue Jays game, several tours, hiking, glamping and camping. We’ll look forward to a report when they return. If anyone wants Girl Guide classic cookies, the unit still have lots to sell. Units are filling up fast for the fall.
