Community Recognition Statement - East Maitland Girl Guides

30 March 2022

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland) (23:40): Congratulations to a group of young women who have focused their efforts on achieving the significant goal of attaining their Junior BP Awards with Girl Guides Australia. That award involves a series of challenges and activities in each of the fundamental areas of guiding. On average, it takes at least 18 months to finish the award requirements. Upon completion, participants know that they are able to consider and decide on a plan of action, carry out a plan and then evaluate outcomes. They also develop their confidence as they complete challenges they have set for themselves. I congratulate the following East Maitland Girl Guides, who have achieved their Junior BP Award recently: Lily Cooper, Lucy Cooper, Eva Lymbery and Poppy West. I wish them all the best for the future, and I am sorry I could not make it to their awards night last week. It is a significant achievement, and I commend the girls for all their individual leadership and hard work to achieve their goal.
