Mentoring Girls - Cooking with Girl Guides Aitkenvale


On Wednesday, 7 August 2019, SI Townsville Members—Rosaline, Marilyn, Margaret and Amy visited Aitkenvale Girl Guides and provided a cooking demonstration evening. Approximately 20 Girl Guides were in attendance with two (2) Guide Leaders and a couple of parents
Members taught the girls about safe cutting skills (we are very proud to say that the only tears that occurred were from chopping the onions!). Some of the girls indicated that they had never done any cooking at home before.
Once all of the food preparation was complete, the cooking started! Rosaline showed the girls how to cook Chicken Curry, Marilyn and Margaret - the Butter Chicken and Amy was on dessert—cooking Mars Bar Slice. Although there was a little mix up with the garlic and ginger, all the food turned out fantastic and the Girls enjoyed the results of their hard work.
Girl Guides Aitkenvale thanked our Members by presenting each of us with a rose and a packet of Girl Guides biscuits.
