Dani Whiting &#8211; brownie leader in Lambeth North, has worked incredibly hard on this project and is in fact the lead\u00a0 volunteer at the hospital to whom so many thanks are due. Following the set up of a Guiding Unit at Great Ormond Street, LSW began to work on this project and the Scouts subsequently joined us.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Guide Gill Slocombe said, <em>\u201cI am absolutely in awe of what has been achieved here. I know what a special, fabulous place it is. I hope it is replicated in many more places across the UK.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Deputy Director of Operations at Guy\u2019s and St Thomas\u2019, Nicola Grinstead, who pioneered the project, said: <em>\u201cThrough providing fun and interactive activities, Guiding and Scouting supports young people to learn new skills, make friends and develop confidence. We are really excited about extending this opportunity to those young people who are patients in our care. We would like to thank the pupils of Westminster School who raised \u00a31,054 to help towards the running of the unit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1053\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1053\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1053\" title=\"Game\" src=\"http:\/\/www.girlguidinglondonsw.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Game.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"294\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playing games<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1054\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1054\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1054\" title=\"Cake\" src=\"http:\/\/www.girlguidinglondonsw.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Cake-420x460.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"460\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cake!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Launch Photo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.girlguidinglondonsw.org.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Launch-Photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"214\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unit Launch<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most exciting new units has just been opened within London South West &#8211; a joint venture between Scouting and Guiding &#8211; the 1st Evelina London Children&#8217;s Hospital Scout and Guide Unit.Its the coming together of 4 organisations\u00a0 (Girlguiding, Scouts, Evelina Hospital and Westminster School) to benefit the\u00a0 patients aged 6 &#8211; 16 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-what-have-we-been-doing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Brand New Unit!
