Read this as the girls do each step:

• The head represents the creative imagination of Lord Baden Powell who gave us this wonderful game of Guiding.
• The body bead represents the heart of Guiding - The Promise and Law.
• Our youngest members, Sparks, are five and six years old. They learn to "Share and Be A Friend".
• Brownies work and play together lending a hand to help others.
• At nine years of age girls are ready to move from the closed circle of Brownies to the open horseshoe of Guides.
• At twelve girls cross the bridge to Pathfinders where they re-affirm their promise with deeper understanding and broaden their horizons by following the five pathways of challenge.
• At fifteen girls can choose from three highways that lead them out into a wider world - Rangers, Cadets, Junior Leaders.
• Adult members keep in touch through the Trefoil Guild.
