As Gibraltar is only a small country they have chosen to still belong to Girlguiding UK so they wear the same uniforms and run the same pro gramme as the UK Part of the girls’ experience was to do some commu nity work so they spent the day at an animal rescue centre clean ing out and feeding the animals.
