Tomorrow night, we have a fun craft activity to do together on Zoom! The materials are in the big brown envelope you received in February.

• three small bowls or plastic containers, to sort your materials

To celebrate World Thinking Day we’ve invited the Rangers to join us for a fun virtual tour of the five World Centres. And this tour is brought to you by… you! You’ll be working in small groups to research and prepare a creative presentation about why we should all “visit” your World Centre.

This Wednesday, we’re doing yoga with the fabulous Gabi!

Come dressed in comfortable clothes like tights or sweats and a t-shirt or comfy shirt. Typically yoga is done in bare feet. You’ll want to be set up in a space where you can move around and lay down fully on the floor. If you have a yoga mat, you can lay it out on the floor and do yoga on the mat, but it’s not necessary.

After yoga, we’ll have some time to plan girl-led meetings, the upcoming enrolment ceremony, and do a fun activity!

Don’t forget to register for the AdventureSmart Survive Outside “virtual outing” (aka webinar) we’re doing on February 3!

Karla will be on Zoom to answer any questions between 6:45 – 7 pm, and then we’ll each log on individually to the Survive Outside webinar that starts at 7 pm. After the webinar, we’ll meet back on Zoom for a chat and debrief! Check out the Calendar posting for more information.
