Sparks is the first branch of Guiding for 5- and 6-year-old girls.
The 145th Sparks were pleased to enroll 12 new Sparks to our unit in October. We have 15 enthusiastic girls and 4 leaders who have been enjoying a fun Guiding year so far!
Our Sparks and their moms had a great sleepover along with the 165th Sparks, at our Mother Daughter Drive In movie sleepover, we sold mint cookies, were invited to the Halloween party with the 229th Brownies and 88th Guides, had a jammie night reading books in a tent, participated in a literacy service project and donated books to a charity, wrote letters to Santa and had Mr. and Mrs. Claus make a visit to our unit in December.
We have had the opportunity to tour the Sage Hill Library, Creekside Fire station and the Apple Store in Market Mall learning how to take pictures on an iPad.
The Sparks and leaders had a fun night celebrating all of our 2020 birthdays at our Unicorn Unbirthday party! We all looked so pretty in our favorite dress, decorated cupcakes and played birthday party unicorn games.
Our Spark families graciously donated items for 10 birthday boxes for the Calgary Food Bank, filled with items needed for girls our age, to have a fun filled birthday party!
We celebrated Thinking Day and learned about Lord and Lady Baden Powell, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, the Canadian World Friendship fun, the 5 world centers and the history of Guiding in Canada.
Our unit along with the 165th and 170th Sparks had a wonderful time at the Calgary Zoo sleepover!
The Sparks’ sashes are quickly filling up with the program work badges and fun crests!
The 145th Sparks and leaders are looking forward to our remaining meetings for our 2019-2020 Guiding year!
