On Monday 25 August, Narre Warren Girls’ Brigade held an event to celebrate Father’s Day with a Star Wars-themed nerf night.

The idea of the night was for the girls to bring along their fathers and Nerf guns, dressed up as a Star Wars character.

In teams, they were on a mission. Girls and their Dads worked as Rebels to find the blueprints for the Death Star. They completed a series of challenges, through five courses, to test their skills and collect clues leading them to the blueprints.

Once all the clues were solved, they collected the blueprints and delivered them to the Rebel leader so they could destroy the Death Star.

The five clues revealed who has the blueprints, what planet they’re on, their location on the planet, when to meet them and a secret passcode.

The five challenges were sharp shooting, Jedi training, time trial, lightsabre skills and Jedi memory training.

To add to the night, professional Storm Troopers attended, roaming and joining in with the challenges.

They are a worldwide all-volunteer Star Wars costuming group who attend events raising money for charity.

They have been raising money for the Isabella and Marcus Foundation for more than three years and will continue to do so in the future.

Narre Warren Girls’ Brigade operate Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm during school terms at Narre Warren Baptist Church for girls aged four to 20.
