Brownies is our section for girls aged seven to ten.
Brownies meetings are fun and varied, featuring arts, crafts, cooking, games, visitors and projects. Brownies can also extend their knowledge n working towards a wide variety of badges, such as the Environment Badge, the Science Investigator Badge and even a Circus Skills Badge! They may also go on Pack Holiday, camp, or a sleep over, participate in special events and day trips.
Brownies become a member of a Six, a unit with a name such as Badger, Fox, Mole, Squirrel, Hedgehog or Rabbit, and follow a programme called the Brownie Adventure.
The name reflects the world of exciting opportunities, challenges and fun that is Brownies.
The Brownie Adventure is divided into three areas:
- You – where girls build confidence and self-esteem
- Community – where girls are encouraged to be active within their communities
- World – where girls learn about the wider world.
When a Brownie is approaching her tenth birthday, she may start working on the Brownie Adventure On programme, which introduces her to Guides.
