This week I joined “Happy Helen” to visit the South Turramurra Girl Guides . Helen helped the guides with a sewing lesson and I was there to talk about the role of government and civil service.
Some questions included:
What does council do? How big is Ku-ring-gai?
Favourite part of being a councillor / mayor?
What are those round things on your neck? Are they heavy?
How old are you? Did you plan to do this when growing up? [I didn’t plan on becoming a councillor… I thought I’d end up serving the community at a church… The scouts and guides tend to prepare their people for community service]
How come you chose to join scouts? (Instead of guides) [I grew up with a scout hall across the road so it was an easy choice]
