PERIODIC NEWSLETTER FOR GIRLGUIDING ESSEX WEST
WINTER 2013
Chris Skinner, Assistant County
Commissioner went to Nicola
Street’s Brownies in Hornchurch
to make a very special award to a
very special Brownie. This is what
Chris said,
“EMILY ROGERS.
A brave Brownie who did her best.
Emily's Mum was taking the children (Emily aged 8 and her younger
brother Joe) to school when she had a mishap and fell from her mobility
scooter. An ambulance was called, but while waiting for the ambulance to
arrive: Emily calmly rang her Dad, calmed her little brother, who was very
upset, and sat with her Mum, using tissues to clean her face of blood and sat
calming her down until the ambulance arrived, holding her little brother's
hand all the time.
Emily said that 'she had a wobbly feeling in her tummy all the time', but she
DID HER BEST. What more could anybody ask.
Here in Essex West we have a new award called the County Achievement Award. It was
initially designed for Guides and Senior Section but in light of this incident we have realised
that there should not be a restriction on age. Well done Emily and I have pleasure in
presenting you with your County Achievement Award. This is the first time I have presented
this Award and I am so proud to be presenting it to you. We are all very proud of you.”

The Essex West Achievement award is a new award designed to recognise those young
members between the ages of 10 and 18 years who stand out from the crowd and are an
inspiration to others. This can also be awarded to girls in the younger sections at the
discretion of the awards committee.
The girl must demonstrate outstanding observance of one or more
of the Guide Laws which demonstrates the true spirit of guiding.
Good Guiding Award
Since the introduction of the Essex West Good
Guiding award last year, 24 Leaders have been
