ICE (International Community Experience) is for Guides aged 11-13. The purpose of an ICE weekend is to give girls a taste of community action, increase their global awareness and raise their perception of international opportunities.

For the last four years Guides from Girlguiding North East England had GREAT FUN on ICE weekends; the girls had a taste of what community action involves.  They explored the community, talked to local people, put together a portfolio of their findings and suggested improvements.

Those girls who are interested in more community action have the opportunity to work on a Community Project.  Recent projects have taken girls to the Republic of Ireland, Edinburgh, Jersey or the Isle of Man.

One ICE weekend is planned for 2010.
