I am looking forward to the end of the year (I always do), but I’m also always a little sad to see it go. If I’m honest, (and as much as I love Brownies) the best day of the entire year is the first Tuesday without Brownies – June 7 is so close! We have [...]

I’m not sure if flag ceremonies are falling out of favour in Guiding units, or maybe they’re deemed “too complicated” for Brownies, or if we just don’t know how to do them anymore, but I haven’t seen a flag ceremony attempted in a couple of years. I wonder if it is just in my little circle, [...]

When you book a tour of a museum, you wonder a couple of things… Will the tour guides be able to keep the attention of twelve wiggly Brownies ? And Will the girls pay attention and give the respect to our hosts that is deserved? The answer to both of these questions (when related to a [...]
