    Story

    Hello , my name is Jasmine Morgan . I am a 15 year old girl from Tewkesbury . I am a girl guide in 1st Tewkesbury Guides , I am a Ranger in Gloucester Rangers and I am also a volunteer at 3rd Tewkesbury Rainbows and currently doing my young leader qualification.

    As a result of my involvement with Girl Guiding I have been selected to go on an international opportunity . To have this opportunity I had to be involved in a selection camp . This is when any guides , rangers and senior section girls that were interested from our country had to fill out forms to say why we were interested in this opportunity say what we thought we had to offer and what we thought we would gain from this experience, at the camp the leaders then could only pick a small number of 12 to go on to the trip . At this selection weekend we were chosen based on our ability in skills that all girl guides have to learn , how well we work with all the other girls , if we had any skills that others may not and who would benefit most.

    After being selected the 12 Girls now have to go to a series of prep camps . This is so we can all get to know each other and create good bonds as very little people had ever met before . We have also completed activities like making our own badges and clothes designs for when we are on the trip . At these prep camps we learn the skills that we need to make this trip possible like writing letters , effective packing skills and many other lessons that we will need later in life .

    We have also learnt a lot more about the trip. The trip will be for 10 days In Denmark in the summer of 2018. The first 7 days will be in a scout jamboree , which is in Naesbycentret the other three will be in a youth hostel in Copenhagen . At the scout jamboree we are given a series of activities that we can join in with other girls from around the world and as a group we have chosen which one of these we would most enjoy . Some of the activities that we have chosen were things like making a bowl out of a coconut , overnight cooking ,making a storm in a jar , making our own nature cosmetics and many more amazing things . As well as all the fun activities we will be able to make friends and interact with other members of Girl Guiding from all over Europe . For the three days in Copenhagen we have also chosen as a group what we would like to do . These are things like going to look at some of Copenhagen’s famous landmarks like the mermaid and will also visit one of the oldest amusement parks .

    I think this would be an amazing opportunity for myself as I am very shy. However through meeting new people I can already see myself coming out of my shell and being a lot happier speaking and having fun with new people. This trip will also help me achieve my dream of one day traveling around the world and finding out how other cultures work and how it’s different to my life at home. I will also like making new friends that I will stay in contact with when I get home . Something that all the girls will do is make friends with at least one girl from somewhere else and will get their neckerchief tied in a friendship knot by them . This symbolises that the friendship stays in that knot and it cannot be undone . Once home from the trip I will bring my experience home with me and talk about it to my friends and the younger levels of guiding to teach them what I have learnt and hopefully inspire them to stay in this amazing guiding organisation when they realise the amazing opportunities it has to offer.

    For this trip I have to raise £1000 . This will go towards the travel , accommodation, food , activities . So far my efforts for raising money I have been doing stalls at places like the mediaeval festival in tewkesbury , dog shows and other places like this . At the stalls I have been doing raffles and games with old toys of mine and things that’s have been kindly donated to me by members of the Tewkesbury community. I have also reached out to local shops who have pledged gifts and prizes to my cause . I have also been doing other things like face paint and balloon modelling .

    Through these efforts I have raised £250 so far . However I would never of been able to do this without the help of Tewkesbury community and the help of my guide leader , my friends and family . As time goes on I am also planning to make textiles products like bags and pillows to sell with material I have been donated . I am also writing letters to various groups and organisations asking for any donations or grants that may be available.

    I would be extremely grateful for any help that you can give me for this once in a lifetime opportunity. And I promise to be the best role model and representative for Tewkesbury , Gloucester and the rest of our country . Thank you for reading and considering. I look forward for hearing back from you.
