At times we have created ourselves, or sat at professionally done table settings for different events.
These events have been at :
late night suppers,
buffet meals,
formal table settings,
Japanese table settings,
finger food
smorgess board
hostessing by the plate and requesting refreshment types.
picnics formal or impromtue,
around campfires
sitting on the ground at camp
There are basic Guide traditions and ettiquete that we have shown all the Guides over time. As the Guides learn one thing another is shown. From making the table settings to suit the occasion, to how to eat, pass food, cut meat, handle knives and forks, use fingers, wash hands, communicate, basic table manners, to hosting, serving and doing the dishes.
Governance is about having the choice to choose, then knowing what to do with this choice. All levels of Guiding are shown different processes for the same thing.
The 7 to 9's are called Dolphin Patrol. We already have the Koala Patrol for the 10 to 13's.

Keeping up to date with these changes means that the guide Leaders are always checking up on what foods we eat and don't eat when they are helping the Guides organise a menu for a dinner, camp or other activity.
Things happen all the time as our bodies get older and / or more sensitive. In order for us to constantly keep up, look after our bodies we have to assess, regulate and change our diet regularly.
We made place mats for when we invited our Friends and Family to Guides for Dinner.
The place mats were made using scrapbook cutters, scissors, hole punches, lots of glue, drawings and paintings. Using stickers with gold or silver, or even glitter mucked up the laminating of the place mats.
We planned a Dance at Guides for the end of Term three (2009).
We invited all different people. we had made invitations, and asked them to come too. Our parents asked their parents too.
We had fun, played outside, had cold drinks, lots of food, decorations and music. We also had games to play too. The CD player was the one at the meeting room. The music was ours, The older girls organised the CD player.
Some of the girls we invited have now joined Guides.
