Elizabeth's Guiding Corner

 Here are some colouring pages that I made based on the new GGC clipart. There are four different designs, all in one file for easy downloading.  GGC Colouring Pages Disclaimer: The images that these are based off are owned by Girl Guides of Canada, I just traced them to turn them into colouring pages for personal/Unit use.

 With Brownies being renamed to Embers, I anticipate that a lot of Ember Units will be looking for new resources with the new promise, law, and branch name. I've made these promise posters, which would make a great aid for teaching the promise, law and motto. I made one for each branch, in English and French. The font size is quite large, so they can be printed as a full page, or multiple per page to be a more convenient size.

Hi everyone! As you've probably noticed if you've made it to reading this post, I've made a few changes to my blog. Most notably, the name. With the Brownies being changed to Embers, and my future volunteer roles in Guiding being unknown, I decided to change the name to my site to simply "Elizabeth's Guiding Corner" so that it can grow and change with me, no matter what branch I end up in.  Over the next few weeks I will be posting some print resources that I've made, like colouring sheets, activity sheets, and Promise and Law resources. I am going to try and make them available in french as well, wherever I can. I am also going to try and update all my old resources that use the word "Brownies", although this may take some time. I'm not going to update the old posts themselves, as that would take way too much of my time, and they are accurate for the time that they were posted. So what have I been up to? During the 2021-2022 Guiding year I t...

 Music is a huge part of my life outside of Guiding. I play five instruments (piano, french horn, accordion, handbells, and ukulele), and have been involved in various music groups. When I became interested in Girl Guide uniforms and badges and wanted to start collecting, I didn't really know where to start. But then I saw someone on Facebook post about their collection of reading badges, and I thought that it was a great idea! So I started collecting music badges from various time periods and countries.  I have also included some generals "Arts" badges that have music symbols or imagery on them.  So far my collection includes twenty five badges from Canada and the UK, and I am always looking for more on buy-and-sell sites.

 Hi Everyone! This summer I am working as a lifeguard at a apartment building pool. So far it has been fun, and I've met a lot of really interesting people. The part that I like the most is having the opportunity to teach people about water safety. I've been swimming since I was very young, and am now a certified lifeguard, swimming instructor, and Emergency First Aid instructor, so I know a lot about the subject! Here are the two most common things that I explain to people: Lifejackets, PFDs, swim vests, and pool toys While they all serve vaguely the same purpose, there is a big difference between these four items. Lifejackets are a flotation device that will turn an unconscious person from face down to face up in the water. They have a flap on the back that will support an unconscious person's head, allowing them to breath. This is what I would recommend to a parent if they ask what sort of floatation device they should buy for their child. Personal Flotation Devices (PFD...

I made a Tiktok joking about how I always make a Kit List whenever I travel, and someone in the comments asked if I could share my kit lists. So here you go! These are the generic kit lists that I use and add to when needed. I've left them as Google Docs, so if you'd like to edit them you can make a copy and add or take away things as you wish.

I created it with the intention of sharing the at-home activity books that I'd created for my Brownie Unit, and it has been a great place for me to share all my ideas and the resources I've created.
