Girl Guiding is preparing to kick off in Pōkeno
Girl Guiding New Zealand wants to open a new chapter in the growing Waikato town of Pōkeno, about five years since there were guiding activities there.
It is relaunching its Pōkeno presence with code GIRL Matariki, a full-day event where girls will programme a robot to draw the Matariki constellation, among other activities.
Local co-ordinators from the Te Kauwhata chapter Luci Fraser and Burnadette de Meyer are hoping families and parents would be keen to volunteer and help keep the Pōkeno chapter going.
"“The main thing that has kept us going and that I think will be great for Pōkeno is the stability for the girls,” Fraser said.
“Especially at the moment where there are lockdowns and a lot of people moving into Pōkeno, the lives of all these children are just so massively changing.
“Girl Guiding is that one constant, that safe place they can go to every week, whether it’s online or in person, it’s a safe consistent place that isn’t home or school.”
Would you volunteer for Girl Guiding or sign your daughters up?
