Orient Express Challenge
October 27, 2010
Between Guiding centenary events, pack holidays, and my first brownie camp I’ve not had a chance to upload anything new to ideas4kids for a while. The good news is that I have piles of things waiting to be typed up as soon as I get a bit of a break, including several wide games. But in the meantime…
The Orient Express Challenge was designed by guiders on ‘Guiding Beyond Boundaries‘. It’s based around the destination cities of the Venice-Simplon Orient Express; Krakow (Poland), Prague (the Czech Republic), Istanbul (Turkey), Budapest (Hungary), Vienna (Austria), Rome and Venice (Italy), London (UK), and Paris (France).
I’ve put together a colour booklet explaining the challenge and had badges made up. (They are pretty honestly – the photo doesn’t show them off to their best. The gold is a metallic thread and sparkles really nicely in the light.) Visit ideas4kids to download the booklet. Over the next few months lots of craft templates, games and information sheets will be added to help support the challenge. An order form for badges will also appear in due course. If you need badges before then, just contact me on louise@ideas4kids.org and I’ll sort something out for you.
I’m a brownie leader and would love any suggestions for this Orient Express Challege. We are planning to do this challenge for thinking day. Thanks for your help!

Hi Jodi. I’ll try to upload the bits I have so far by the end of next week. (I’d upload them this week but we have a Division Party at the weekend so I’m a bit pushed for time atm.) Have a great Thinking Day 2011, from Louise.
