2nd May: Orienteering at Wandlebury

This afternoon we met at Wandlebury for some orienteering.

9th May: Brownie Traditions part 1

This evening we learnt about the early history of brownies and rosebuds. We looked at a picture of Panther and her pocket books and badges (from the 1980s). For the rest of the meeting we tried on uniform and some activities from that time.

We invited "Brown Owl" (Panther's Mum) to visit. She brought with her an old brownie uniform, badges and cards from the 1950s. We learnt the old Six songs, Pack Salute and lots more. We then tried some activities from the 1950s, including learning to make tea.

23rd May: Brownie Traditions and Spy Games

As we arrived we designed uniforms and badges we would like to see in the future. We then played three games which involved solving clues, reading maps and learning compass points.

This evening we made paper dolls with Tudor costumes, cardboard castle and Tudor Rose sweets.

This week we played a game involving bandaging and cooked mini pancakes over night lights.

As well as playing lots of games, this evening we designed our own town as part of the Anglia Challenge Badge.
