Brownies is a section of the ‘Guiding Association’ which
is a charity that provides an opportunity for children to join a society
outside of school hours and further their learning, social interaction and
their personal development whilst growing up. The guiding motto has recently
changed to: ‘we discover, we grow’ which is defined in the research covered.
Girls can join the Guiding Association from the age of 5
where they enrol at a group labelled Rainbows, when seven the girls can make
the journey over the rainbow to Brownies where they can stay until they are 11
years old before flying up to Guides. At
the ages of 16 the girls can continue their guiding experience by joining the
senior section and then furthering in to a young leadership role or even carry
out their qualifications to become a leader to give young children the
opportunities they had. All leaders
within the guiding society are volunteers and members can join at they own will
and all is asked is a membership fee per term to help support the costs of the
pack.
Brownies is a group that is part of a worldwide
organisation, and is just one in many extracurricular activities that are
available in society today.
