1st Rodborough Guides was the first Guide company in Gloucestershire. It was formed in August 1914 by sisters Mildred and Rosie Humpidge, who were keen to aid the war effort. The group is still going strong and this year celebrates its 110th anniversary.
Come and see precious items from 1st Rodborough’s archives, learn about its founders, and find out what it took to be a Guide back then. Could you install a windowpane, lay a carpet and retape a Venetian blind? These are just a few accomplishments expected of Guides wishing to earn their Handywoman badge in 1922!
On display are a selection of items from 1st Rodborough Guides past and present, including a 1920s uniform, a rare Guides camera, and badges from 1918 to the present.
