GUIDES Amy Russell and Katy Priest have achieved a top award.

Amy, 14, and Katy, 15, of 2nd Devizes Guides, have achieved the Baden Powell Challenge award.

Guides have to be in the organisation for at least two years before they can try for the award.

The girls, both year ten pupils at Devizes School, had to complete ten challenges from a variety of themed subjects including global awareness, discovery and healthy lifestyles.

Amy was one of the founder members of the company in January 2001. She is now aiming to become a young leader with the unit.

While working on her Baden Powell Challenge she organised team games, international activities and Chinese New Year celebrations, and made a global issues poster.

Katy has devised dance routines, completed a film review, food surveys, a poster plus other activities.
