We arrived there about noon, boiled the billy, and had lunch We then walked up the highest part of mountain, where we obtained an excellent view of the surrounding country. After this we played games, then had tea and set off for home, tired

but happy and well pleased with our day’s outing. “During- the month some Guides were presented with their Toymaker’s and Sick Nurse badges. The greater part of our Guide meetings is now taken up with Ambulance work, as a number of Guides wish to obtain their Ambulance badge. Several Guides intend practising for their Swimmer’s badge. “On Sunday, November 10, we attended, in conjunction with other public bodies, a special armistice service in the Anglican Church.”
