A GIRL GUIDE CAMP TO GUERNSEY & SARK in 1934

The following images come from a snapshot album owned by a Miss Evelyn Turner and contain photographs taken by two or more Girl Guide photographers who went on a camp to Guernsey and Sark in 1934. When in Guernsey, they camped at a farm owned by a Mr Naftel.

It is presumed but not proven that the visiting girls came from across the UK and not just one area.

Analysing the snapshot annotations and the information contained on the back of the photographs, the following names and information can be found:-

Evelyn Turner (Original owner of the snapshot album & the only girl wearing glasses & is a member of Robin Patrol)
Mary Sitch (from Walthamstow Rangers)
Peggy Brocks
Stella North

The Girl Guide Association started in the UK in 1909 with the senior Guide Group for older girls starting in 1916.

The "Senior Guides" started in 1918, with the name "Rangers" being adopted in 1920. This name was changed in more recent times to "Senior Section", but has now reverted back to "Rangers" and open to 14-18 year olds.
