Rainbows, Brownies and Guides from every unit in the South Down Division – Hurstpierpoint, Hassocks, Keymer and Ditchling – took part in Girlguiding’s #TheBigSleepover2018 on February 24 at Adastra Hall, Hassocks.

The event, which ran during the week when Girlguiding celebrated its annual World Thinking Day (February 22), had an international theme built around the idea of the girls visiting the five guding world centres – UK, Mexico, Africa, Switzerland, and India.
