Welcome to the page that will tell you all about ...

Who are Brownies?

A girl can join Brownies at any time after her seventh birthday and can move onto Guides after her tenth birthday, however if she wishes a girl may stay in Brownies until she is eleven.

What do Brownies do?

Brownies take part in indoor and outdoor activities that challenge them to do their best. The Brownie programme is centred around three themes:-

You Community World

Their meetings are action-packed and FULL of challenges, games and activities, usually ones that the Brownies have suggested themselves.

Brownies work in small groups called sixes. This gives each girl a group of ready- made friends to take care of her. They can either have a traditional name or be named after a woodland creature ...

Pixes Elves Foxes Rabbits

Brownies often take part in special Adventures, many Brownies go away on holiday, to camp or overnight sleepover.

What do Brownies wear?

Brownies have a fantastic wide choice of what they can wear:-

trousers, 'skorts', short or long sleeved T-shirts, 'hoodies', gilets, baseball hats.

The colours are predominately yellow and brown with a flash of pale blue.

Do Brownies make a Promise?

Yes they do.  They have to learn their promise and their law:-

I promise that I will do my best

To love my God

A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself and does a good turn every day.
