Nat Hi! I'm nat, I'm 15 and can't stop telling people I'm going to Ghana! I go to Birkenhead school which is on the Wirral and will have just finished me GCSE in the summer. 
I play a lot of hockey, some say too much, but I disagree! At school I play for the second team boys as the girls don't have a team, but it's a good competitive sport. I also play county hockey as well, my dream is to play for England!

I've been doing girl guides ever since I was a rainbow, and I can still remember doing my leap across the rainbow to move up to brownies! Now being in rangers, has given me this massive opportunity to go to Ghana I'm so excited!! Bring on the summer of 2013!!!!

Leah- Hey! I'm Leah, 17 years old, nearly 18 :D I'm super excited for Ghana as this is my first time to Africa and also my first international trip within Girl Guiding UK. I have been a brownie from the age of 5 and then went on to become Brownie, Guide, Young Leader and i am just finishing of my leader qualification. I'm currently working towards a-levels and i love playing hockey and other outdoor sports!
