yep, there haven't been too many posts about Guiding here lately (or about anything, but that's another story) - main reason being that I'm not really active in Guiding at the moment. I've been registered as a member at large the last few years - this year I am also now a Trefoil Guild member. In the last few weeks, I've received both the provincial Trefoil Guild newsletter and the national one, which is when the realization came that I am actually a TG member now.
Trefoil Guild originally was for "retired" Guiders, and even now the predominant age-group is much older than I am, but the official definition in Canada now is that any Guiding member over the age of 30 can join Trefoil Guild - the idea is to be able to keep in touch with Guiding, and to have some sort of social group. So, I belong to a Guild in Calgary that was started by someone I knew from Link (thanks Tirian!), mainly for former Link members like myself - and so far, the Guild really only exists online (Facebook actually). I'm curious to see what my iMIS profile actually lists ...
So, I'm feeling kind of old lately, Guiding-wise... and then I realized that at the end of this year I'm eligible for my 30-year membership pin (not that I actually have any membership pin at all since they combined girl and adult membership into one categorization - I suppose I should go buy myself a 25 year pin so that I have one).
Various observations about life, including cycling, Guiding, current events, and other interests. (If you found something to be helpful or interesting, please remember to leave a comment so I know you were here! Or e-mail me if you're too shy to comment in public - guidemd at hotmail dot com)
