2nd Ellesmere Brownies took to the stage to remember all those who gave so much for our freedom at the remembrance concert for the Royal British Legion on Saturday, November 9th. 25 members sang a medley of WW2 songs dressed as mums and evacuees of the 1940s.
The groups had also done bag packing in the morning at Tesco Ellesmere to raise funds for The Royal British Legion and the 2nd Ellesmere Brownies. They presented a cheque for £200 to the Ellesmere Branch of the Royal British Legion.
The 2nd Ellesmere Brownies were treated to a fun-filled weekend with loads of enjoyable activities in and around the Lyneal Guide Centre. The brownies arrived at Lyneal Guide Centre where they settled in and later went on a torch walk to The Lazy Cow Cafe. The girls enjoyed a lovely dinner before taking part in an array of activities such as feeding the ponies, gently handing little chicks and dissecting owl pellets. The fun continued as they walked back to the Lyneal Guide Centre using their torchlight to find their way. At the Lyneal Guide Centre, the brownies made conker wreaths, aborigine painting, made up dress-up plays and much more creative activities. Their second day at the Guide Centre was no different from their arrival day. On their second day, the girls enjoyed face painting and taking part in an aviation challenge. They also went on a walk around the canal and Colemere, looking for insects and words of a safety sentence on a pre-laid trail. On arrival back to the Lyneal Guide Centre, the girls enjoyed a picnic lunch they prepared in the morning. They were then awarded badges before heading home with their parents packed with loads of exciting stories to share.
Church Stretton Brownies have been running for 100 years and held a celebration event where they dug up their time capsule from 25 years ago. It was a wonderful afternoon with many leaders past and present and finished with awards, cake and a badge!
Brownies from around the County enjoyed an afternoon of trampolining and climbing at Go Jumpin and Climbing the Walls in Shrewsbury. The Brownies proved they certainly had a head for heights whilst learning new skills and having lots of fun.
2nd Ellesmere Brownies would like to thank Tesco Ellesmere for allowing us to bag pack as superwomen for Mother’s Day. They raised money for cancer research and their own unit. At the end of the day they had raised an amazing £535!! Well done to you all.
Shropshire Cares – Shropshire Shares
This social action badge is in two sections, Shropshire cares is about being active in the community, maybe carol singing at an old peoples home or planting trees along the canal. Shropshire shares involves collecting and giving, this maybe toiletries for the Red Box Project, food for the foodbank or animal food for the cats and dogs home. Make your challenges as quirky as you want and don’t forget to share them on social media. These will allow units to take social action at all levels. Shropshire cares is about being active in the community and Shropshire shares allows you to collect and donate for a worthwhile cause – all of your girls choosing! Enjoy!!
The badges are in stock and available from the badge secretary.
