5th Rainham Brownies Becoming a Brownie

Making your Brownie promise When you are ready to make your promise we will hold a Promise Ceremony. You can do things differently, but this is how our traditional ceremony works. All the Brownies form a circle. The toadstool is taken out from the centre and replaced by a 'pond'. Your sixer will take you into the centre of the circle and spin you round whilst the Brownies say, "twist me and turn me and show me the elf, I looked in the water and there saw..." You look down into the 'pond' and say "myself". To find out why we do this you will need to read the Brownie story. You then go to Brown Owl who will ask you to say the Brownie law: "A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself and does a good turn everyday." Brown Owl will then ask you to salute and make your Promise: "I promise that I will do my best, to love my God, to serve the Queen and my country, to help other people and to keep the Brownie Guide law." Brown Owl will then pin your promise badge to your sash. You then shake hands with each Guider and member of your six. (Brownies shake hands with their left hand whilst saluting.) You are then given your six emblem, Pack name tab and a certificate. After the ceremony you can choose which game to play. You can choose to make your promise in a special place or have a party afterwards.
