Heidelberg Volksmarch

September 2008 |

Every year the Garrison Commander sponsors the Commander's Cup.
The Heidelberg Girl Scouts has won the First Place trophy twice,
Second Place once, and Third Place once--trophies may be viewed at
the Village Pavilion. Help us win again this year, when you walk please let them
know you are walking for Girl Scouts! Volkssporting is the only
GirlSports that
ALL girls, leaders, and family members can do
together in a multi-generational context. Participation is free
to everyone. However, each club is a volunteer organization that
must pay a fee for hosting an official event. Most clubs recover the
cost of volkssport events through a nominal fee
(not to exceed $5.00) attached to the awards it provides. Payment of
this fee for the award allows the participant to receive
internationally-recognized "credit" in the form of an official stamp
for participating and completing an event. Many volkssporters
collect these stamps in logbooks and redeem them for
internationally-recognized pins, patches, and certificates
recognizing individual achievements in our sport. The achievements
are milestone-levels of the number of events that someone
participates, and the total distance covered over a lifetime of
participation. There are awards for 10, 30, 50, 75 events and
beyond, and awards for 500, 1000, 1500 and more kilometers covered.
They are looking for volunteers in many areas and
hope you will have some time to help out! The online volunteer form
is available on their website (www.hiwc.de). The website
also has more information on what work is involved for each area.
They are also still looking for some chair-people for checkpoints,
drivers, medical, coffee & cake, parking and information.
Please
send Cath Floyd
a separate e-mail, if you are interested in running one of these
areas. .
Trophies,
from this and past years, are on display in the Village Pavilion--check
the glass cases down the left hallway as you enter the building.

Thinking Day |
back to the top |
|
22 February 2009 |
|
|
Thinking
Day was first created in 1926 at the fourth Girl Guide/Girl
Scout International Conference. Conference attendees decided
that there should be a special day when Girl Scouts and Girl
Guides all around the world think of each other and give thanks
and appreciation to their "sister" Girl Scouts.
The
delegates chose February 22 as the date for Thinking Day because
it was the mutual birthday of Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the
Boy Scout movement, and his wife Olave, who served as World
Chief Guide.
