GirlGuiding fundraising events...

There will be many events to help the fundraising effort including beginning with the first Sit Still which is being spearheaded by GirlGuiding Scotland. On Saturday, 5 March, Girlguiding Edinburgh begins the week of 'Sit Still' fundraising events for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Rangers, and leaders.

Dr Elsie Inglis did not sit still, and neither will the members of GirlGuiding Edinburgh.

A spokesperson for GirlGuiding Edinburgh said: "Bring your units along to find out more about the remarkable woman, Dr Elsie Inglis, and how her ideals are still very relevant today. An Elsie Inglis activity pack—designed by Edinburgh Brownies and Guides—and a badge is available

for all sections, as well as further details on running a 'Sit Still' fundraising event for your unit or family and friends.”

A Sit Still can be big or small - a lunch, afternoon tea, two minutes or two hours. The campaign explains: "We will prepare kits to send out with advice. Just make sure that you think about Elsie Inglis NOT sitting still and about the huge difference she made in so many different areas.”
