County Annual Review

April 17, 2012

March 31st saw Girlguiding Cornwall holding their annual review at the Royal Cornwall Showground. This was led for the first time by Chris Davey our new County Commissioner. This year there was a slightly different format to the afternoon which proved a great success with a very good attendance. The presentation of awards and the annual review were combined in the one event, which made for an interesting and informative afternoon.

What do we do?

The internet is changing the way we live. Young people have taken to technological advances very quickly, taking advantage of the opportunities they provide to socialise, communicate and learn. However, new technologies bring new risks that we need to be aware of and manage in order to safeguard the welfare of our members. Girlguiding UK are constantly updating resources online to keep our Young Girls safe.
