Description
Brownies started in 1914 by Lord Baden-Powell to make the youngest group in the scout and guiding clubs, (though today Rainbows is the youngest). Today Brownies learn new skills working through badges and create lots of craft projects as well as putting on shows and singing and dancing and also do some work for charity. This is a truly fun and social event for young girls just as much today as it has been for 100's of years. With international clubs we also see different styled uniforms.
Dedication
Brownies usually meet once a week, though through school holidays usually the clubs take a break too, though many do run a summer camp for either a long weekend or a week, once you have visited a few times you can then decide to be become a full member wearing the Brownie uniform.
