Welcome to Hummingbird HQ

Hi, I’m Hummingbird! I run Brookvale Guiding and love creating free resources to share my adventures.Here you’ll find inspiration for meetings, challenge packs, stories from the past, and practical resources to make term planning easier. Whether you’re searching for a spark of creativity, exploring the history of guiding badges, or organising your next term, you're in the right place!

Inspiration Station
A calendar of ideas, a place where challenge packs, meeting plans, and activity cards all come together. Each idea links to special celebrations or awareness days throughout the year, giving you ready-made sparks of inspiration whenever you need them.

Trefoil Tales
A personal archive and a shared database of Girlguiding badges. I began this project after being asked to help identify some badges, and soon found myself captivated by the stories they hold. What started as a way to keep track of my collection has grown into a resource to help others uncover the origins behind these badges.

Keeping the Adventure Alive

At Hummingbird HQ, we believe in sharing the adventure and making free resources to support as many units as possible. In 2023, we nearly had to close all our units due to rising costs and losing our hall. Every donation, big or small, helps keep our units running, keeping our guiding light alive and allows me to continue creating free resources for leaders everywhere.

Donations are handled through Ko-fi, a safe and trusted platform for supporting creators. You can donate quickly and securely via PayPal or card, no account needed.
