The 1st Chipperfield Brownies are currently preparing for their Deaf Awareness badge thanks to Jan Dennants expert tuition. They have been learning to use sign language and the badge is one of the more unusual that the Brownies can work towards.
We are also preparing for the first Pack Holiday for some years. It will take place over the Spring Bank Holiday at West Hyde. Rickmansworth which will be transformed into “Pooh Corner” especially for the girls. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to attend as numbers are restricted to 18.
It seems a long time since the Christmas holidays when twelve of our Brownies enjoyed Babes in the Wood at the Village Hall, giving a special cheer to our very own “Jay” – Hannah Turner – the packs Young Leader, who excelled as Maid Marion in the production. More recently, we took part in the Guide Movements annual Thinking Day which celebrates the birthday of our founder, Lady Baden Powell. Chipperfield Brownies surprised everyone by singing a well-known English song in Dutch!
I hope this give you a flavour of the variety of activities that young girls can enjoy in the Brownies. Although our Pack is full to bursting at present, its never too early to put your daughters name on our waiting list. The starting age is 7 years old. Please contact me on 01923 268852.
Make a note in your diary for Saturday 14 March when we are holding a special Blue Peter Bring and Buy Sale in aid of Cystic Fibrosis. The idea came from two of our Brownies, Chloe and Elyse Thompson. We are getting together with 1st Kings Langley Pack and the sale will be held at the Guide Hut, Blackwell Road, Kings Langley. Do come to support us between 10 am and 12 noon. Have a cup of tea, see whats on offer and help us to raise money for this worthy cause.
