What Brownies Do

Who are Brownies? 

• Brownies are 7 - 9 ½ year old girls who are encouraged to become more aware and independent and have a say in what activities they do. Working both individually and in teams girls learn both indoors and out.

What do Brownies do?

• One of the best things about being a Brownie is being able to work for badges and certificates.
• There are lots of fun things to do and see. Some badges can be earned at Brownies when everyone works together. Other badges are your choice and done in your own time. You will do lots of different things that you won’t do at school.
• Everything you need to know about Brownies is in your special Brownie My Programme Book and you can use the record pages to see all the exciting things you have done.
• Brownies have fun in small groups of six girls called Sixes. Older Brownies can be the Sixer who is the leader of the Six or her helper.
• When a girl makes her Brownie Promise there is a special celebration and a special silver badge is pinned on her uniform just like all the other Brownies. Now she can begin to plan her path to gaining the top Brownie awards. 
• Brownies also get to choose from a wide range of fun activities either working as a whole group or as a team.

• More fun things Brownies do include Brownie Revels, special days when you get together with Brownies from other units and share lots of fun and excitement and do adventurous things together! Outdoor activities at Brownies can include, swimming, skating, bike riding, water activities and getting out and about in the community.
