Girlguiding East Grinstead 1910-2010

Latest Exhibition NOW ON


"Girlguiding is celebrating its centenary from September 2009 to October 2010.  We are hoping to make the year special and memorable for all our members, from the youngest Rainbow to the oldest Trefoil Guild member.

Guiding in East Grinstead has been established since 1917. Records and minute books have survived intact since this date and give us a glimpse of how Guidiong has changed over the last 100 years.

We hope that through this exhibition you discover either for the first time or you re-discover the phenomenon that is Girlguiding."

(Linda Hare, EG Division Commissioner)

Booklets to accompany the exhibition can be purchased from the museum at a cost of £2 each.  The exhibition runs until Sunday 9th May 2010.  Entry is FREE.
