Hide AdEmma, Daisy and Tylah got to explore the easyJet cabin simulator, including the real-life replicator cockpit with two of easyJet’s female captains, Marnie Munns and former Brownie, Kate McWilliams. The girls asked the captains all about their jobs, from the qualifications needed to how many flights they made each day.
The partnership is the first to be announced as part of Girlguiding’s biggest ever overhaul of badges and activities which will be revealed in full this summer.
