The Great Girlguiding Gloucestershire Sock Challenge

Picture

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!

Who can take part?

Anyone! The activities can all be run during a virtual meeting or girls (and their families) can take part individually at home on their own.

​Girlguiding members outside of Gloucestershire are welcome to use the activity suggestions and buy a badge, but the competition will only be open to members of Girlguiding Gloucestershire

What do we do when we have completed the challenge?

Submit your scores here: http://bit.ly/3bqN4xV

​Send any photos to growth@girlguidingglos.org.uk or share them on our social media sites
