Brownie Revels.

At the beginning of June Brownies and Teddies gathered at Trefoil Park for a morning of fun. girls were having fun even before the programme started.

I didn't stay the whole time so I only got to see the first activity - cheerleading.
first they learned to make simple pom poms.

Next they were shown how to make pyramids.

The chant was "Let's go, Brownies"

 And then they put it all together!

Waverley Guides go to the Thinking Day Gala

Last time our Region had a swimming gala for Thinking Day, only one Guide attended so I  was thrilled when four Guides arrived on Saturday. That's 50% of the Company! (Still not as good as the Brownie attendance however)

The theme was Disney around the World.

It was an overcast day and quite cool so three of the girls chose not to swim and one wasn't feeling well so I didn't insist. That left us with one who had a wonderful time in the water.

Later the whole gala moved to land starting with a magic carpet ride where one guide was carried by the otheres.

Then, from China, carrying buckets of water without spilling.

Next was trying to carry a stone or coin with your toes and depositing it in a container.

Finally, From the Lion King (Africa) Pumba and Timone had to catch bugs for lunch, which turned out to be jelly worms tied on a string which one ate without hands.

Overall I think the girls enjoyed themselves and contributed to what Thinking Day is all about.

Mad Hatters and an enrollment

Last week the Brownies were having a Princess tea party so we decided to have a Mad Hatter's Tea Party.

The Brownies learned table settings and good manners as befits young princesses.

Guides decorated their table and made some snacks and sandwiches and then ate their tea according to the throw of a dice.

Today we enrolled our newest Guide.
