Guides’ night of adventure
First Germiston Girl Guides and Fifth Boksburg Girl Guides recently enjoyed a night time hike through the streets of Germiston.
It was a night of adventure as the First Germiston Girl Guides and Fifth Boksburg Girl Guides took to the streets of Germiston for a Nite Hike.
The hike, which was 7.5km long, saw the troupes hiking through the streets of Delville and Lambton, navigating their way to various bases and complete challenges set up at each.
The gruelling hike started at 6pm and finished after midnight when the guides crept into sleeping bags to sleep under the stars.

“On top of the prizes, Mike’s Kitchen in Lambton rewarded the guides with milkshakes during their hike.
“All in all a great deal of fun was had by all involved,” said Susan Vorster.
