Great Guiding Pottery Throwdown Information

A group of Girlguiding Nottinghamshire members are off on an international expedition to Iceland in August 2025! To help with fundraising for the trip, this resource and badge have been created.

The challenge is suitable for all sections and can be completed over a night (a fun night at the start of term) or a weekend by adding the longer challenges.

We are excited to launch a new challenge for 2024, which has been developed to help units raise money.  With rising costs to units, we recognise that this is a challenging time and want to help. We have put together an information leaflet for leaders as well as one you can use for parents to help you take part.

The challenge is to get each member of your unit to complete a sponsored mile in your unit, whether that’s walking, running, skipping, swimming, cycling – the possibilities are endless and entirely your choice.

There will also be a badge to support the challenge, which will be available to order through the county shop. We can’t wait to see how girls will rise to the challenge and go the Extra Mile.

Thank you for supporting our unit by taking part in our challenge and purchasing our badge. This was created for our summer camp 2025, due to our girls picking a theme where we couldn’t find a badge, we love a badge and I’m sure you do too!

Hence the 4 Elements challenge was born. Our girls love science, creating, playing games and helping our community and we hope that you do to.
The money we raise will help us with future residentials and unit adventures.
Enjoy and have fun!
