Brownie when she was seven years

that it was a fun organization to
join.

Pathfinders, Gunn has ac-

two of her silver levels.

The categories for Pathfinders,
she said, are camping, outdoors,
home, community and world. To
achieve the bronze levels a
Pathfinder must) have completed
10 challenges for each section. For
silver the number is 20 and for
gold it is 30.

GOLD LEVELS

Gunn said she hopes to reach the
gold level in all events by the end
of her third year in Pathfinders.

Gunn's Pathfinder unit has been
involved in local fund raising to
raise money for her trip to Ireland.
The girls have done car washes, a
bottle drive and chicken sales.

The Canadian World Friendship
Fund donated more than $500 to
heip finance Gunn's trip, and the
girl guides at the district and pro-
vincial level will also be con-
tributing money towards the trip.
