Horsham’s senior Girl Guides have their sights set on national camp event Jamboree this year, and are raising money to subsidise the costs.

Fundraising efforts have so far included a bake sale, assisting at the 150km Feast, private catering, and now the group is selling raffle tickets.

Girl Guide Zoe Bandel said there are four prizes in the raffle, with the limited tickets $25 each.

“First prize is a Thermomix TM7 valued at just under $3000, then we have a trailer load of wood for second prize, a brow kit for third prize, and a hamper from Amcal Chemist for fourth,” she said.

“People can visit our Facebook page to find a link to buy tickets – it will be drawn on July 11.”

The Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/girlguideshorsham or people can also contact Leanne Schilling on 0448 820 041 to purchase tickets.

The six-day camp attracts girls and women from across Australia and internationally, and offers a variety of experiences in a different setting each year.

“This Jamboree has a theme of Bush to Beach, and has different one or two-day experiences for girls aged 14-plus,” Zoe said.

“We can choose from horse riding, an after dark aquarium experience, abseiling in Brisbane, theme parks, Currumbin sanctuary, overnight kayaking expedition, and snorkelling and surfing, to name a few – everyone does different things.”

About 1000 attendees are expected at the camp, where they will sleep in tents in mixed patrol groups.
