Emily Chapman and her team have been hard at work creating a series of videos designed to inspire and provide a guide to all things Guiding. Their goal is to provide clear, practical resources covering all aspects of Guiding. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication — these videos will be an invaluable teaching tool for Leaders and Guides alike.
