100 candles

What a lovely idea.

Yes. A lovely idea but what's a lit candle that's not real?

Nice idea, I was a guide in the 60s and had some very good times. Bet todays guides are very different!

Meriotgran it is a small flickering candle that is battery operated.

I did it. Then got up at 3am to check I'd blown it out!
I hadn't

I was a brownie, a guide, a guide leader and a ranger-guide leader and had some wonderful times in each. Now I go to WI and when my DGD (also a guide) asked me what WI was like, I told her "grown-up guides". And it is!

Yes gagagran you still get bossed about in W.I.

My 32 year old DD has joined her local WI in East London and it sounds nothing like WIs I have ever heard of. Wish that had existed (as we say "in my day"!

I have made some great friends in the WI and make sure I avoid one or two of the old 'battle axes' who want to run things as they were run in the Dark Ages !

I am not very good at keeping to the rules. But I am good at volunteering to help.

If girls can join the scouts these days can boys join the guides? And the junior branches of course...
