What was the Centenary Camp?

A beautiful stately home, thousands of UK Guides and their international guests, Fusion, exclusive Centenary Camp tents and the most amazing choice of activities - the Girlguiding UK Centenary Camp was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to BE THERE at Girlguiding UK’s biggest ever Guide camp.

Participants took part in inspirational opening and closing ceremony, Fusion and four days of activities covering every aspect of the Guide programme, the Girlguiding UK Centenary Camp promised to be an international camp like no other, creating special memories to last a lifetime.

The camp was held at Harewood House, near Leeds, North Yorkshire, home of the Earl of Harewood.  It was also the home of his mother HRH Princess Mary, The Princess Royal, who became President of The Girl Guide Association in 1920.

Snow fun in August

Centenary Camp has one promise: to get Guides camping like they’ve never camped before, but for at least one group of Guides from the sunny Caribbean island of Antigua, this camp really will give them a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Amazingly they had the chance to see, touch, and play with real snow for the first time in their lives. Guides who have chosen to take part in the snow tubing activity will be using a giant rubber ring to hurtle down a slide of real snow. This was especially transported to camp to give girls a unique opportunity – sledging in August! View full article...

The Great Sleepover at Centenary Camp

The Brownie and Guide sleepover began with a flurry of activity and the eager banging of tent pegs at the Tiger’s Eye sub-camp on Tuesday. Most of the Brownies had never camped before and so even putting up tents was a totally new experience.

More than 600 Brownies and Guides joined in with many of the evening activities, as well as exploring the huge grounds surrounding Harewood House and a visit to Fusion.
