A new free exhibition is opening at Hollytrees Museum in Colchester that explores 100 years of Girl Guiding in Essex. This is a rare opportunity to see some beautiful items from the earliest days of Guiding in Essex.
Highlights include film footage of Princess Margaret’s visit to the Guide Rally at Hylands Park in 1949, an original watercolour by Agnes Baden - Powell and a beautifully illustrated Log book which details all the activities of the Dedham Guides between 1931 and 1973. The display also includes log books, badges, uniforms, photographs and lots of local Girl Guiding memorabilia and much, much more.
This exhibition has grown out of a partnership with Essex North East Guide Archive and Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service, to celebrate 100 years of Girl Guiding in the region.
