In a heartwarming celebration, past and present members gathered to honor the rich history of Guides and Brownies, donning an array of uniforms, hats, and badges worn by girls throughout the years. The festivities began with a special birthday service at Shelley Methodist Church led by Reverend David Lapworth. The church was filled with excitement as girls from the 1st Kirkburton West pack, local Cub Scouts, and future members of the village's new Scout group came together to mark this significant milestone. Guiding district commissioner Mrs Christine Bottom graced the occasion with her presence. Following the service, an exhibition showcasing these cherished uniforms was held at the Methodist Schoolroom. It provided a captivating glimpse into how guiding fashion had evolved over time.
