Our 4th Briefing weekend took place up on the North Welsh coast in my county Clwyd, at the Rhyl Guide Headquarters. Once everyone had arrived, including our spare pigeon from 3rd Briefing, we were presented with mysterious presents by Net and told to open them at the same time; it turned out these were our uniforms! We’re now kitted out in matching polos, rugby shirts & hoodies, and we look very smart even if I do say so myself.

On Saturday morning, after a traditional camp breakfast of eggy bread, we knuckled down to setting an agenda for the weekend and doing some planning for when we’re out in Latvia. One of the lists we're making is songs, ice breakers and general games we can play with the leaders and kids. If you know any songs or games, let us know in the comments below.
Rhyl Guide Headquarters is only 5 minutes walk from the beach, so in the afternoon we headed down for a stroll and to get some team photos wearing our uniform.

On the Sunday we were able to decamp to Sue’s house due to needing to be out of the headquarters (thank you Sue!) where we took over the dining room for the last few hours of planning and discussing before we went our separate ways.
It’s strange to think that in 13 days we will be coming together the night before our project starts, but we can’t wait to get to Riga and start meeting the Scouts and Guides we’re going to be working with.
Roll on Latvia!
