A gaggle of girl guides gathered in Cobham at the weekend, to mark one of the most significant dates in the guiding calender.

Members from Cheam, Mitcham, Worcester Park, Old Malden, West Barnes, Beddington, Teddington and Wallington all gathered at Notre Dame School to celebrate Girlguiding UK’s Centenary World Thinking Day.

The girls took part in performing arts workshops, body percussion, Maypole dancing, didgeridoo, steel band music, singing, dancing, karaoke, synchronised swimming and African drumming sessions.

It was one of nine One World One Beat events staged across the country, so thousands of girls and young women could simultaneously celebrate.

Anne Hudson, London and south-east England chief commissioner said: “One World One Beat was a great day and for everyone and the perfect way to make World Thinking Day special as it is a really important occasion for guiding.

“It is a chance for us to acknowledge that we are part of a huge movement that works to give millions of girls, young women and adults opportunities to try new things, gain new skills and most importantly make friends and have fun.”
