The great Girlguiding Gloucestershire sock challenge
The challenge
We're setting you lots of sock related challenges to complete at home!
We just want you to have some silly fun, all using a sock (or a few socks sometimes!)
As a bit of extra fun, you can submit your scores to our county competition and we'll see which unit or girl will be our ultimate county sock champion! We'll have different categories for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers, inspire, leaders and Trefoil Guild members (everyone can join in the fun!)
We would recommend that you aim to try and complete at least 4 of the challenges but you can do as many as you like!
