Our names are Jayne, Mia, Ashley, and Kenzie. We have gone on a trip to San Francisco to bridge to seniors. On this trip we encountered many people from different countries while staying in a hostel. We met people from Australia, Wales, England, Canada, and Scotland. Talking to them, we learned a little about these people and their home countries.

One of the coolest things that we got to experice while in San Francisco was meeting Girl Guides from England. As a Girl Scout, we have always heard about Girl Guides, and it was a unique experience to finally met a few of them. When we saw them they were decked out in full uniform. While talking to them we asked the girls about school, lingo, sports, and Girl Scout cookies. Surprisingly enough, the Girl Guides have never had Girl Scout cookies before! We were able to learn about life in England as well as how Girl Scouts and Girl Guides compare and contrast around the world.

After talking with the girls we got their Instagrams and gave each other patches. As a troop, we found it unique and cool that they swap patches. We gave them our patch and they gave us theirs. Overall, we had a very fun time in San Francisco and learned a lot during the trip!
