On 1st July over 1270 runners including many of our girls and leaders, took part in the Oswestry Colour Run in aid of Macmillan. This was a partnership between Girlguiding Shropshire and Macmillan. Leaders and girls manned paint stations throwing paint over the runners and staffing the reception desk. It was a very hot but enjoyable day!

Girlguiding Shropshire have been working over the past 12 months with Macmillan to fundraise and raise awareness. Girls, leaders and Trefoil Guild have been actively involved in many projects, raft races, cake sales, marathon marshalling and dressing up and dancing. They have raised £5,949 and supported events that have raised over £50,000 for the charity. It was great fun and the girls and young women have also enjoyed the community action project. Well done!
Holiday Brownies met for a day of Festive fun at Attingham park just before Christmas. The girls had a busy day completing their toymaker badge and also managed a reindeer treasure hunt around the mansion and a walk to see the deer being fed!
Holiday Brownies is for the girls on waiting lists for Brownies and they come along and make their promise and get up to all the same things as girls do in their weekly meetings. We meet at Easter, Summer and Christmas and if you would like anymore information contact Sue Deighton.
The members of 2nd Ellesmere Brownies have been collecting donations for their local food bank. The girls have been collecting items for the local food bank in their community as part of their community action, and collected together enough items to fill 35 shoeboxes!
2nd Ellesmere Brownies gathered together 35 shoe boxes full of kindness and love at Christmas.
Each box contained 5 meals and Christmas treats for Oswestry and Borders food bank. One Brownie quotes: “It feels really good though help other people!” ‘
Brownie leader Spark added: “We upheld our Promise. Brownies take action and expressed themselves.”
