Brownies
Brownie Guides are aged between 61/2 and 11. They are junior members of the Irish Girl Guides.
- Our motto: Lend A Hand
Most Brownie Packs meet every week, during term time. Brownie Guides have fun while learning to help others, enjoying the outdoors, playing games, doing crafts, working for awards and badges and singing, etc. etc. As well as the weekly meeting there may also be special outings and activities.
Sometimes at a Brownie meeting there is a Pow Wow when the Brownies make plans. For most Brownie Packs the highlight of the year is a Pack Holiday
The Pack is made up of Sixes - a group of usually 6 friends who play and do things together or with other Sixes in the Pack. Each Six has a Sixer and a Seconder who help to run the Six. The Sixes have special names such as Pixies, Elves, Gnomes, Little People etc.
All Brownies wear uniform to show that they are members of The Irish Girl Guides. In other countries Brownies wear uniforms too - some rather like ours and some very different.
