Virtual Summer Bash 2020

Following the success of the Virtual Bubbs Hill Bash in June, and as we're still not able to get back to our usual camps and holidays this summer, we're going to do it all again in our Virtual Summer Bash!
​
It will take place during the weekend of 15-16 August 2020 and will be open to Girlguiding members from all sections as well as volunteers. It's a Girlguiding Gloucestershire event but we're also happy to open up the opportunity to members from across the country and beyond as we go global!

Camp Content Still Available

The Virtual Summer Bash is now over, however we will be leaving these activities on the website until at least the end of 2020. Follow the Timetable button to the main page. Everything else will be linked from there. 

​There will also be additional camp badges available, while stocks last.
Timetable Page
Our Bash Volunteer Team are working hard to put together the programme which will have an International theme and be focused around four Zones; the WAGGGS World Centres, Festivals, Food and Games & Sports.

We will share the experience via a range of online media to ensure everyone can take part. These will include a closed Facebook group, Twitter and Facebook posts, YouTube, our website, etc. Below you can find
 some basic information that includes a template letter for emailing parents about the event.

What will the camp involve?

We're still making plans but here are some of the ideas of activities that might be coming your way!

World Centres

There are five World Centres owned by WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) and we'll bring you an activity associated with each of these Centres.

Festivals

The world is full of such a wide variety of festivals, celebrating religious events, cultural activities, community elements, and so on. We're going to dive in to just a few and find out what goes on.

Games & Sports

2020 should also have been the year of the Summer Olympics which have been put back to 2021. Instead we'll bring you games and sports that are played around the world for you to try.

Food

Who doesn't like to try tasty treats? We'll be sharing a variety of food activities with you to have a go at making, and of course eating, delicacies from around the world.

Spreading the word

You may choose to sign up to the Bash as a unit, family or individual. 

If you are a Leader but not in a position to take part yourself, we would just ask you to share the information with your girls so that everyone has the opportunity to take part if they wish. We have created the Information Letter to help explain the event to parents & Leaders.

We will also be sharing the information about the Bash via our social media platforms so please do Share and Retweet our posts if you spot them. We want to make sure the event is available to all.
Information Letter

Register for the Bash

In order for us to plan for the event and keep everyone up to date with the latest information, we're asking people to sign up to take part via our Eventbrite Page. You can sign up as a unit or as individual members or family groups.

The Bash Community

Throughout the Bash, we will be sharing the experience through our special Facebook Group. It's open now so you can come and join us. It's available to young members aged 13 years+, to parents of our members and of course to our fabulous volunteers too.

We'll also be sharing activities, videos, etc on our Twitter Page.

​Use the hashtag #GGGlosBash2020 on Facebook and Twitter.

Not on Facebook or Twitter? Don't worry! Everything will be fully accessible via this website and our YouTube Channel so you can still join in with all the fun.

Beyond the Bash

If you are not able to join in with the fun and games during the Bash weekend itself, don't worry. We are going to leave these pages on our website throughout lockdown and would love to see the activities used beyond just the one weekend. If you are a Leader you might choose to use the activities to plan out your virtual meetings for the September term or send the ideas out to parents and girls to do as their weekly activity. Or if you are a parent, young member or volunteer, you are free to carry out these activities at a time to suit you, perhaps over the summer holidays. However you choose to get involved is okay by us!

Badges

There will be another badge design competition again for the Summer Bash so these will be available after the event at a cost of £1 per badge plus £1.50 postage per order. We will ensure we order enough supplies for anyone who orders a badge as part of the weekend but will also order some additional supplies so those completing the activities at a later can still purchase badges, whilst stocks last.
More details will be available in August.
