The Gene Radio Show
Sunday, 7 April 2024
This edition of The Gene Radio Show, broadcast on 7th April 2024, was presented by Maxine, bringing listeners the latest guiding news and information. The programme covered various updates, encouraging listeners to get involved in guiding, whether as members or volunteers. It aimed to keep the day bright with good tunes and important announcements for the guiding community.
Listeners heard about upcoming badges, including a colourful Earth Day badge and two badges for the Essex challenge at the Essex Jamboree. There were updates on British guiding in overseas territories, with Girl Guiding North West England taking over these areas. Maxine also shared news about Thinking Day 2025 from Girl Guiding Anglia, and an amazing celebration of guiding and scouting, the Essex Jamboree, which will offer challenges and scavenger hunts for all sections.
