Here are a few Wordsearch puzzles that I had made a couple of years ago. You may have already viewed a couple of these on my website "Lee Ann's Girl Guide Notebook". You are welcome to download the History and Brownies wordsearch files from that site. {The jpgs on this page are slightly different from the files on my website since I had edited the uniforms to resemble the new GGC uniforms}. The Promise & Law wordsearch puzzles have a SECRET CODE. To decipher the code you fill in the blanks using the leftover letters. The leftover letters go in the blanks in order from top left of the grid to bottom right of the grid.

Hello Owl & Toadstool viewers! Did you know that there is a Fifth World Centre? Yes, there is a fifth World Centre in Africa called Kusafiri. The Fifth World Centre in Africa "Kusafiri World Centre is a project exploring how WAGGGS can bring a World Centre experience using existing facilities in Africa. The ‘centre’ has no fixed site but changes location at every event, creating international experiences to girls and young women in different countries in Africa". https://www.wagggs.org/en/our-world/world-centres/kusafiri/ This fifth World Centre was established in 2010 and in October 2015 was officially named Kusafiri. Kusafiri means 'to journey' in Swahili. For more information on how Kusafiri World Centre came to be see the above link. The Five World Centres mini book Kusafiri World Centre poster to be used with the Five World Centres mini book I will need to change the name of my song "The Four World Centres" to "The Five World Centres" to include Kusafiri. What rhymes with Kusafiri...hmmm...LOL...I will come up with something. I am not sure how to pronounce Kusafiri either...is it Ku-sa-furry or Ku-sa-feary??
