There are many fun ways to thank the Guiders you work with for all that they do in making guiding a wonderful experience for girls and Guiders. Informal thanks can be used to show gratitude and appreciation for the time and effort that a Guider has put into Guiding. They can be given out at unit meetings, district meetings, area council meetings or even a special event.
Below are some simple and fun ideas. Email Van Chau, Fraser Skies Awards Specialist if you have some cool ideas to share with other Guiders.
