New Packs, or Packs that are reopening, can apply to the Trefoil Guild for Starter Packs for all of the Brownies. A member of Macclesfield Trefoil Guild recently visited the reopened 1st Rainow Brownies and presented them with a box containing about 20 Welcome to Brownies books, some badge books, hand books etc. The happy faces show how pleased the Brownies were.

What do Brownies wear?
Girls wear a uniform which includes lots of cool and fun clothing.The Brownie Promise
Brownies make a special promise at a Promise celebration which they can help to plan. It might be in a meeting, at a special Promise party, you could make your Promise outside, or on Brownie holiday.
To love my God
To serve the Queen and my country
To help other people
And to keep the Brownie Guide Law
The Brownie Guide Law is:
A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself and does a good turn every day.
All Brownies must make sure that they try to keep the Promise every day, and the Brownie leaders help them to do this. For example, if they’re not sure how to help other people, how about:
- Helping her Mum by keeping her bedroom tidy
- Picking up toys that her baby sister or brother has dropped?
Sometimes they can be helpful in bigger ways, for example by:
- Putting on a pantomime to raise money for people who have lost their homes, maybe after an earthquake or flood
- Helping our local environment trusts to have a big tidy up of the village or town they live in
- Some Brownies help to plant bulbs in their local park so that each Spring there are lovely flowers for everyone to enjoy.
All of these things are activities that Brownies in Cheshire Border have done recently, but not only is it nice to help people in these ways, it’s usually lots of fun and laughs too!
It’s your choice!
Brownies can also choose to work towards interest badges. There are lots of these covering all sorts of different things so there’s sure to be something for everyone. These are just a few of the interest badges which you could try:
Horserider, Swimmer, Toymaker, Entertainer, Hostess, World Cultures,
Finding Your Way, Brownie Holiday.
Brownie Holiday
Some Brownie packs go away on Brownie Holiday. They usually go to a special Brownie Holiday house (there are even several of these in Cheshire!) where they can spend a weekend, or even longer, having lots of fun and adventures with their Brownie friends.Read about Broken Cross District Brownie Pack Holiday at Alsager Guide Hall.
