The Mosta Girl Guides embarked on a memorable adventure to the UK this summer, with 33 participants, including 11 adult volunteers, representing Malta at the Essex International Jamboree 2024 (EIJ 2024).
Held in Chelmsford from July 27th to August 7th, this international event themed “A Celebration of Girl Guiding and Scouting” offered the girls a chance to engage in diverse activities, forge new friendships, and experience a rich cultural exchange. The jamboree was packed with exciting experiences, including cycling, archery, high ropes, and team-building challenges.
The campsite featured different zones, each with unique activities. The girls enjoyed water-based fun, creative problem-solving, and even traditional English games like cricket. One of the highlights was the International Night, where the Mosta Girl Guides proudly showcased Maltese culture, performing songs and sharing traditional foods.
After the jamboree, the adventure continued in London, where the girls explored famous landmarks, enjoyed a Thames River cruise, and visited Pax Lodge, a World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts center. The trip concluded with the Mosta Girl Guides hosting a group from Buckinghamshire in Malta, further strengthening their bonds of friendship.
This journey was an opportunity for the girls to grow, learn, and proudly represent Malta on an international stage, creating lifelong memories and friendships. For more information on joining the Malta Girl Guides, parents can contact the association via Facebook or at [email protected].
This morning near Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq, a waterspout was witnessed over the sea; film of the occurrence was shared to Malta Daily. This discovery is made as the island gets ready for a potential thunderstorm later today.
Temp Madwarna recently shared a photo by Matthias Cachia showing the first marine waterspout, or “trumpet,” appearing near San Ġiljan. They noted, “The first St. Julian’s waterspout is sighted,” adding that their page had predicted a 35% chance of waterspouts today. The same page later updated that today’s weather is expected to be quite cloudy with possible heavy isolated showers and thunderstorms or sleet.
