A MAJOR Girlguiding event in St Davids has been hailed a huge success.

Celtic Camping was the venue for the first Girlguiding Pembrokeshire outdoor party event, which saw around 300 girls and volunteers come together during the last weekend of August.

The Brownies were based in the bunkhouse accommodation whilst the Guides and Senior Section girls slept under canvas.

The girls took part in activities which were a little out of the ordinary from the ones they usually do when going away with their units.

The Guides enjoyed adventurous activities such as coasteering, jet boat rides, abseiling and pony trekking and the Brownies learnt how to light fires and cook during their bushcraft sessions. The Rainbows joined in on the Saturday with activities provided by the Darwin Centre.

Also attending the event was Tori James, Girlguiding Pembrokeshire president, who opened the event on the Friday evening and Marianne Osborne, Girlguiding Pembrokeshire chaplain.

The opening ceremony on the Friday evening included a campfire and fireworks and on the Saturday night the girls danced the night away to Tuxedo Funktion.
