This is a great way to create a bit of space in your cupboards, so please support us by letting us have as much jumble as possible. You can use any bag to bring it in – it doesn’t have to be the collection bag. Why not take an extra bag and ask your neighbours if they have some,

The Old Guide Hut
Our much loved Guide Hut in Malthouse Square in the Old Town is on its last legs. Now over 90 years old it has served the community well, but with elderly gas heating, windows that don’t open, no proper disabled access and poor quality catering facilities, our girls will not be able to use it for meetings for much longer, not to mention other groups from the community who used to come and use the hut.
The New Guide Hut will be a safe and modern home to Girlguiding Beaconsfield.
The New Guide Hut will ALSO be a great social space which can be enjoyed by all in the community for many uses. Beaconsfield needs and deserves this community building. 
Clubs, societies, local businesses and families will be able to rent the building for their use too.

Centenary Finale
On 20th October more than 200 rainbows, brownies, guides, rangers, leaders and Trefoil members joined over half a million members of Girlguiding to reaffirm their Guiding Promise. Everyone present signed a commemorative square for a centenary patchwork quilt. The girls took part in international activities from other countries celebrating their centenary in 2010. Personal special Guiding memories were displayed and have been collected into a scrapbook. Memories ranged from cooking outdoors to a Guide wedding guard of honour, and from walking in the dark to a tall ships adventure. Many thanks to Davenies for letting us use their excellent facilities.
2nd Beaconsfield Brownies Competiton Success
2nd Beaconsfield Brownies were runners up in the Freemasons community service competition “ihelp”. The girls collected and sold second hand books. With the money raised they bought food items to fill gift boxes for elderly neighbours. The girls presented their project to a panel of judges and faced stiff competiton from other youth organisations. They have donated their £750 winnings to our New HQ Fund. Well done girls, and thank you!
Thinking Day
Thank you to everyone who came along and supported us at Thinking Day. We are delighted so many turned out to see our exciting plans for the New Guide Hut and to all the girls who took part – Well done!
Big Thanks
The fundraising is well underway with already £187,000 in the bank and pledged so far, but we still need your help!
