Wartime Girl Guides

A Memory of Chalfont St Peter.

I joined the Guide Company, the 1st Chalfont St.Peter Company, but this soon had to be divided, so that the 3rd. C.St.P. was also running in the village The 2nd, C.St.P. was at "The Colony". Is this still in existence? I remember learning that Epilepsy was a condition with which people learned to live .. Each Guide in the Company had a partner, to watch over. If a girl had the warning that she would have a seizure, her partner took her outside the main hall, and dealt with the situation, with no fuss, and no pause in the general proceedings. We did not have many combined meetings, so I never got to know any of the 2nd.Company members.
My happiest memories are of being the Patrol Leader of the Thrushes !
