Harrogate district girlguides spread a little sunshine during lockdown
Volunteers across the district have been maintaining girlguiding during lockdown with a Sunflower Challenge.
Created as a way to keep in touch with local girlguides, the sunflower challenge involves making a sunflower out of whatever materials you can find, from house hold objects to paints and crayons. These sunflowers are then shared on facebook and have also been made into a video on YouTube.
The Sunflower Challenge aims to spread happiness and fun to girlguiding members during lockdown. Over 1,000 girls across the County and the UK have taken part in the challenge with numbers growing daily.

As well as creating their own sunflowers, girlguides are also given a sunflower seed in order to grow their own, with the ultimate challenge being to grow the biggest sunflower.
