THERE are smiles all round for Ella Cassidy, whose design has won the St Albans East District Guides' badge competition.

Nine-year-old Ella's badge will now be worn by all guides, brownies and rainbows in the East District area.

The competition was held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the East District Guides and included hundreds of different designs from across the area.

"Three winners were picked; one each from the brownies, the guides and rainbows and then an overall winner was picked, and that was Ella," said a very proud Rebecca Cassidy, Ella's mum.
