Yarra Glen Girl Guides had a special Christmas party on Wednesday 11 December.
It was not just a party but also an occasion where all the girls’ achievements over the year were recognised.
To celebrate Kerrie’s retirement, former members of the Girl Guides, families, a local MP, local CFA members and members of the Girl Guides from the Yarra Ranges District attended the party.
The party started at 5.30pm at the McCracken House.
At 6pm, the presentation for certificates and challenge badges was held.
Kerrie Steur, who served the girls for 26 years, received a certificate and an inscribed bowl for her service as well as a special card written by the girls.
Erin Allison who is going to take over Kerrie’s role, also received the qualified leadership certificate and the one-year adult membership certificate.
Junior and senior girls received challenge badges depending on their yearly achievements.
After the presentation, all visitors enjoyed the party food.
Around 7pm, Father Christmas arrived at the McCracken House to distribute the lollies and presents.
