On Saturday, July 3rd, Queen Elizabeth II was in Winnipeg for 6 hours. While she was here there was a Garden Party in her honor. We helped pass out cookies - three thousand of them! There was lots of praise from the event organizers about how how quickly the girls handed out the cookies and paper flags and how well they presented themselves, and how well they represented Guiding. When we were done that we were taken to a spot to stand for the for the royal walk-about. We all got to see the Queen and Prince Philip and she even said hello to one of our Pathfinders. The girls were fantastic in spite of the horrible heat and humidity that day. It was very exciting for all involved.
