HOW WE PROGRAMME IN OUR UNIT
One of the first meetings of
term is our Programme Planning meeting.
#Before we start we spread around the room
loads of Programme ideas - divided up under
the 8 Octant headings. See
representative lists at foot of page.
#Firstly every girl has a copy of her Record
sheet - this will help her decide what
activities she needs to do to complete either
her Chief Guide's Award or an Octant
certificate.
Then one method we use:
#Small pieces of coloured paper are
distributed to each member (we use eigths of
an A4 page). We tend to give 5 x yellow - for
Meeting Night ideas, 2 x blue for Overnights,
1 x pink for Service and 1 x green for Fund
Raising..
#The girls write their one suggestion only per
piece of paper, adding their name if they want
to organise it.
Another method:
#Is to cover the table with a paper table
cloth, each girl has a marker pen and they
scribble their ideas on the cloth, which is
regularly turned around.
Yet another method:
Is to just brainstorm onto a Flip-chart.
Finally -
#The Chair or Secretary will then collect the
ideas in, each is discussed and put on a Yes,
No, Maybe pile - then the most popular ideas
are placed on the calendar as laid out below.
#We try and ensure that everyone gets at least
one activity they want and that we cover all 8
Octants per term.
