Bedfordshire Girlguides gathered at Cardinal Newman Catholic High School, Luton on Sunday to celebrate the landmark.

In Bedfordshire the Guide Movement took root in 1916 with the formation of the 1st Luton Company, so it was a fitting tribute to return to Luton for the 100 year celebrations of the charity.
