Thinking Day Centenary Celebration
On 7th March 2,600 girls and leaders from East Sussex joined together to mark Girlguiding UK’s Centenary World Thinking Day with a high energy celebration at The Brighton Centre.
The girls and young women at the event performed and watched an amazing concert at the Brighton Centre. The Hove rainbows, brownies, guides and leaders put on a display of Samba dancing. The show culminated in an amazing finale which encapsulated the Girlguiding aim of empowering women. Young girls were joined by the Sugar’d Babes and performed to ‘Here Come the Girls’ and had an explosive finish with fireworks.
The Sussex East Brighton Centre event marks one of the most significant dates in the guiding calendar. World Thinking Day is an opportunity for the ten million Guides and Girl Scouts in 145 countries around the world to think about the diversity of the worldwide membership and show appreciation for each other’s lives.

Brownie Funtenary 2010
In January brownies groups from Hove took part in a residential centenary event especially for brownies and their Leaders - Funtenary!
The weekend was a marvellous treat that the brownies will remember for the rest of their lives. The top activity was the swimming pool with all its slides, flumes and rapids, but they also enjoyed the disco on the first evening, fairground rides and team sports in the sunshine on Sunday morning.
Several girls met Liz Burnley the Chief Guide and one received a birthday gift from Cindy Centipede, the holiday mascot.
They arrived very excited and left wishing they could stay another day, or even better come back in a couple of week's time!
To quote some of the girls:
Matilda said: "It was really, really fun."
Eleanor said: "The swimming pool was really cool."
Daisy said "The Hannah Montana show was wicked."
Amy said: "I really, really liked the discos, I thought they were groovy."
Nuala said: "It was cool."
Nina said: "It was great fun and we got to do a lot of things."
