What is a Flat Olivia?
The idea has come from the USA, where Daisy Scouts send a Flat Juliette traveling from unit to unit. As our mascot here in the UK is Olivia, a group of guiders thought it would be nice to do a similar project but with a Flat Olivia.
How to take part!
If you are a Rainbow Unit (or the similar in another country) and wish to exchange a flat Olivia with another unit, please contact us! We can match you up with another unit and you can join in the fun.
We will email you with details of a unit who would like an exchange, its then up to you as leaders to arrange the details for postage.
Next make your unit a Flat Olivia and post it out!
How do I make my Flat Olivia?
There is no rules about what a Flat Olivia should look like or be! You may wish to make just one to represent your unit, or you might like to make a number which the unit can keep on receipt. Olivia can be any size you wish but please make her flat - this makes is easier to post if nothing else!
It would be great if your Flat Olivia could include your unit name somewhere along with some explanation over where this, if its not obvious! If you are 12th Manchester we can probably find you but if you are 2nd Wellington it might be more of a challenge!

When you have received your Flat Olivia!
Its nice to let the unit know that their Flat Olivia has made it safely!
Why not email us a photo of the Flat Olivia so we can post the details on the site and share with other units.
Once Flat Olivia has visited your unit, please return her to the unit from which she came! It would be nice to include a postcard, a letter, perhaps some photos to let the unit know where she has been.
If you would like to do another exchange please let us know and we will try to arrange another exchange.
