Each year, we are proud to join with Mackenzie Heights District to select two girls to lay wreaths in the UBC Remembrance Day ceremony. Attended by hundreds of people – including local politicians, UBC administrators and faculty, and representatives from the military and RCMP – it's an opportunity to reflect and remember, as well as show our gratitude and support for those currently serving Canada.

Little kids and big kids love to dress up for Hallowe'en. Anything goes, from wearing a kangaroo onesie to full Cleopatra makeup and costume. Add in some spooky mystery "touch" bowls, tasty treats, and mummy-making – you're guaranteed to have a blast!
Guides from 3 units gathered for a night of exploration and discovery at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. They found out about an astronaut's daily life on the International Space Station, gazed at our galaxy, and built bottle rockets. They even might have found some time to sleep amid all the fun and excitement.
Pathfinders and Rangers channeled their cooking skills at the annual Iron Chef event on Deas Island. Girls came from all over West Coast Area to compete in this unique competition that challenges their planning, cooking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills. Step 1: Set up your temporary kitchen, look at the ingredient list, and start planning 3 courses. Step 2: Present your food bank donations, then go to the round robin ingredient selection. Each patrol picks one item at a time. Some other group took your key ingredient? Choose a substitute! Thinking on your feet is key for this part. Step 3: Get cooking!! When the whistle blows, it's time to plate your dish – and presentation counts. This happens 3 times: appetizer, main course, and dessert. Step 4: While you clean up and prepare the next course, the judges are hard at work! They taste everything, check for secret ingredients (an item that starts with "Arrrr"), and read the creative descriptions. Step 5: Scores are tallied and prizes awarded – for best teamwork, cleanest kitchen, picture perfect presentation, best appetizer, and so on. All our teams did great, and our "Ranger" group (with both Rangers and Pathfinders) took home the "Culinary Supremacy" award this year! Thanks to these wonderful guiders who organized the event. They are all from West Point Grey District! |
