Project Whakapai

Project Whakapai

This exciting project is all about working with Griffins, our Guide biscuit manufacturer, to develop and produce the “best ever” Guide biscuits for 2011.

There will be:

• A new biscuit design
• A new pack design
• Lots of trials

with the same Guide biscuit recipe.

Why Project Whakapai?

It is a maori verb which means to make good, improve, set in order.

Project team

There are a team of girls and adults from GirlGuiding who will all help and assist Griffins to develop the “best ever”.

They will:

• Provide their thoughts on design
• Give feedback on the biscuit production trials
• Be part of the approval team at the first production run
