Meet the team - Terri Measey

5/6 of us around a campfire! (It is Guiding after all)

When hundreds of emails fly into your inbox about kit, training and train timings you know its TWO WEEKS UNTIL PROJECT!!!

To mark the occasion, we're introducing Terri - our amazing Treasurer for our Project.

Name? - Terri Louise Measey

Where are you from? - Rugby, Warwickshire

What do you do in guiding? - I am super busy and active in Guiding, at the heart of it all is my Brownie unit which I have been part of since I was a guide. I am also a Division Commissioner for Rugby, Peer Education Co-ordinator for Warwickshire and a Mentor to new leaders in Rugby.

Whats your favourite guiding memory? - Wow what to choose from I have done so much in Guiding that picking one is difficult, I started guiding as a Rainbow at 5, I loved going every week and progressed to brownies and then guides. My guide leader was a huge influence on what I did next. She let me become a Pack leader at 11 with the brownie unit from this I progressed to young leader and then unit leader. Going away as a Guide to camps and then taking my brownies away for the first time on a day trip and then a sleepover working up to a camp. Watching the brownies take so much enjoyment in what we do each week, seeing them grow and develop. My first international trip to Switzerland including a trip to Our chalet. Spending 10 days at sea on the Lord Nelson a tall ship designed for all abilities to celebrate the centenary. And finial achieving my Queens Guide award this was one of the biggest challenges I have ever undertaken and very overwhelmed when it was presented by my Division and at Parliament.

Hardest thing you have ever done? - Saying NO! iam rubbish as I want to do everything and trying to work out what is achievable and what isn't is very difficult. I like helping people and I don't like turning people away.

Fun fact that many people don't know? - umm this is difficult, let me think about this one

Favourite thing beginning with G? - Growth  I know this sounds really cheesy, being able to grow myself in my career, life and volunteering. Also having the unique opportunity to help others grow and aim for the stars.

What are you most excited for on Project? - Can I just say everything? This is a completely new experience for me, going to Africa Ive never been before, Working with a new team of people and  I cant wait to share the knowledge that ive gained over the past 11 years as a leader.

So....the fun fact about yourself?- I used to be a campanologist this is a bell ringer, I rang the hand bells as a guide and performed at Christmas carol services, I then progressed to Ringing the church bells at services and weddings
