Activity equipment

​Girlguiding groups within the county can hire these items for off-site use.
Chime bars and hand bells
We have in the county two sets of chime bars with beaters, and two sets of hand bells, 26 of each (so can cater for quite a large group). These are very user friendly and there are some charts of Guiding songs with notes corresponding to the both the bells and chimes. Suitable for all ages and abilities - no musical experience needed for either the session leader or those taking part, just a sense of rhythm. 
Indoor Curling
​This adapted version of the game uses rubber curling stones with bearings, making it a great game to play indoors. 

​The set includes pushers and slopes for accessible game play.

Indoor Bowling

​
This beginner's version of bowls, for indoor use, uses rubber bowls and targets and is a great way to encourage friendly competition between teams.

Arrows set
​Arrows is a mini version of archery aimed at Rainbows and Brownies, or other younger visitors. It consists of a system of bows and arrows with suckers on the end with a choice of two target faces. Children learn the skills for archery with manageable goals and outcomes. Fun and games for all ages.
​
This activity can take place outdoors or indoors.
