The Easter break gave us the perfect opportunity to run our Holiday Brownies scheme once again. This is where girls who are aged 7-9, but aren’t currently in a Brownie unit get the chance to experience the brownie programme. Four girls (including one returning brownie from the last Holiday Brownies) spent several days at Attingham Park undertaking a variety of activities including Easter-themed crafts, den building and treasure hunts across the grounds, as well as learning about the Brownie promise and law.

If you know someone who would like to become a holiday brownie, look out for details of how to sign up for our summer holiday scheme.

Girls from Admaston Brownies recently spent one of their meetings hosting a Mother’s Day event. The girls were able to invite a female family member (mums, Nans, aunts etc) to come to the meeting and be spoilt by their child. The girls had spent time beforehand making handmade cards, a promise table place name for their guests (The place mat had on one side the name of the guest and on the other the girls had written “I promise to…” and filled it in with something they were promising to do), a little gift parcel with a poem, and a small bunch of flowers. The Brownies also gave their guests a slice of cake and served them a hot drink (being very careful with the hot water!).
Lots of very proud ladies at the end of the evening. At the same time, the Brownies completed their Hostess badge, which was presented along that evening with the other badges they’d achieved throughout the course of the term.
