ICE 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

• Last year Guides from Girlguiding North East England had GREAT  FUN on ICE weekends, the girls got a taste of what community action involves.
• They explored the community, talked to local people, met someone with a Guide Dog and put together a portfolio of their findings and suggested improvements
• Those girls who were interested in more Community Action went to Southern Ireland in August 2005 to work on a Community Project
• In 2006 girls went to Edinburgh and took part in a Community Action project

In 2007, Guides from Girlguiding North East England took part in two  International Community Experience Weekends, either at Spennymoor, County Durham or Bradley Woods, near Huddersfield. These Weekends offered the girls a taste of what community action involves and helped them to recognise that Guiding is an international movement.

What did they do?

·        They looked at the Environment

·        They compared the local facilities with those they lived

·        They planned an environmental board game

·        They took part in lots of exciting challenges and activities

·        Most importantly – they had F U N !!

 What else?  The girls who were interested in doing more Community Action went to Jersey to work with the Community in Bloom Project. They  helped keep Jersey free from litter as well as enjoyed finding out about the Jersey community and its tourist industry.
