Almost 2,500 of our region's young members took to Portsmouth on the weekend of the 21 and 22 March to take part in Girlguiding's UK wide Cityscapes Adventure!
There were 5 themes for the activities: sports, crafts, science, strong women and fun. In Portsmouth, there were approximately 30 volunteer-led activities, allowing participants to visit the HMS Temeraire Sports Ground, Portsmouth Cathedral, The D-Day Story Museum, and the Pyramids Centre, BH Live, as they made their way around the city.
Girlguiding South West England partners, including Youth Fun Days, The Royal Navy, Stemettes, and England Rugby, joined in the fun, giving girls and volunteers the chance to take part in various activities such as code breaking and photo challenges, while enabling members to discover more about Portsmouth’s rich history.
Teams scrambled to complete challenges, racking up points to climb the leaderboard. They were able to track all the action and see exactly where they ranked in real-time using the Goosechase app.
“This is probably one of the most exciting and fun things I have done in our 5 years as the Chief Commissioner team. I really enjoyed the buzz and excitement; people were so competitive with the challenges as well as completing the activities”. Olivia Cox, Deputy Chief Commissioner
