This is the new name for our Brownie Programme.  

Over the past year we have been very busy both in our pack meetings and with lots of extra weekend activities.  In January some of us joined 4,000 Brownies from the South of England at Butlins Bognor Regis for a great Brownie Adventure.  We took part in lots of activities including swimming, a disco, circus skills and fencing.

We also made some cocktails

We also spent a night in the Science Museum in London, doing items related to the human body, before sleeping in the gallery for the night.  This is a picture of us making snot in one of the workshops.

Fundraising Activities:

Part of our Brownie Promise is to think of others.  This year we have been very busy raising funds for other people and learning about other areas of the world.  We held a sponsored keep fit games evening for Children with Leukaemia and we raised £250 for them.  We also had a visit from a lady who told us about children in the Gambia who have only just been able to go to school, but have no provisions and were having to share one pencil between a class.  We decided to help her challenge to provide each child with a filled pencil case and we provided her with 50 new pencil cases and lots more stationery and supplies.  Now we have made pen friends!  

 

Watch out for us this term, we hope to put on a show in December for our entertainers badge.
