Centenary Bench

Warwickshire Studley District of Girlguiding UK proudly presented a bench to the parish council at the Studley parish cemetery on a frosty Monday December 21st to mark the 100 years of Girlguiding and to commemorate the founders Lord and Lady Baden Powell.


Members from all sections Rainbows, Brownies and Guides gathered together to plant 100 daffodils and polyanthers to decorate the area around their bench. Councillor and Action Studley member Bill McCarthy officially opened the bench with a ceremonial cutting of the banner and was the first person to sit on it. He said ' It is marvellous to see so many of the community of Studley working together to benefit us all. Thank you to all the girls for their contribution to mark the 100 years of Girlguiding.
The bench is to be accompanied by three oak trees 'From little acorns grow great oaks' These will be planted when the frosts abate
