1ST BARFORD BROWNIES:
Updated November 2009
We have had a wonderful year starting in January by making Chinese lanterns for their New Year.
The Brownies worked hard on their Skills Badge picking up on some more old fashioned ideas like writing and posting a letter! Armed with safety jackets and a map of the village we marched around Barford, found our three posting boxes and posted our letters equally in each to see who received their letter first. It was Church Street if any one is interested!
We enrolled 3 new brownies. We enjoyed the support by Victoria and Megan working on their Duke of Edinburgh certificate.
A big thanks to Di Hadley for letting us visit the farm see all the animals, and enjoy the lambs being fed. The pig was very large and the girls were surprised.
We made book mark invitations for Mothers Day and fed the mothers with lots of scones, jam and cream. The evening was very well attended, thanks for coming. We also celebrated our second birthday.
In March we watched a movie in our PJs making and eating popcorn. The scout hut was full of pillows, teddies and other cuddly comforts.
Spring came and we made lots of seed potatoes heads which produced lots of real grass to cut.
Brownies worked hard on their traditions badge and walked around the village in search of ancient trees to report to the ancient woodland trust. Their size was recorded by the number of brownies giving the trees a big hug.
We joined in with the Big Litter Pick. Fathers received lovely cards and chocolates and the girls made a super summer beach scene on our board.
We discovered a large selection of old badges and decided to make good use of them. The brownies cut out our unit name in yellow felt which was very kindly sewn onto a sheet in beautiful blanket stitch by Laura, and the girls attached all the 258 badges. We plan to put it on display soon for everyone to enjoy.
We celebrated our last night before the summer with a Teddy Bear Picnic and said a fond farewell to Jenny thanking her for all her help with a cake, a gift and a teddy.
I would like to thank Jenny Evetts personally for all her help and welcome Emma Cooke as a unit helper.
