Guides in Lyneham
www.girlguiding.org.uk
Brownie Guides have fun! Their meetings are full of activities and include
suggestions from the Brownies themselves. There are opportunities
for them to learn new and practical skills and by taking part
in games they discover how to be part of a team. Brownies
can earn badges for doing their best to meet special Challenges.
They can also work for a wide range of interest badges. As
well as the weekly meeting during term time, there may also
be special activities and events at the weekend or during
school holidays. The highlight of the year is often the Brownie
holiday or camp.
Being a Brownie is all about having a great time and loads
of fun! You've just got to be a girl aged seven or over.

you are not between 7 and 10 then you could join the Rainbow
