Nineteen local Girl Guides finished the year on a high when they received the Trail Blazer National Guide Award - Irish Girl Guides highest award - at special outdoor ceremonies recently.
The Irish Girl Guides (IGG) members from Drogheda, Monasterboice, Tullyallen and Boyne Valley each received a Trail Blazer gold pin and a National Guide Award certificate from their Guide Leaders. One award recipient, Rachael Woods of Cú Chulainn Guides, earned every single one of IGG s 120+ interest badges - an amazing feat, which is rarely achieved!
Her proud mum Jessica Woods is a Guide Leader and was on hand to present her with one of the awards.
