A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
There are 18 girls in the unit. No harm flowed from the charity’s purpose and there was no private benefit to anyone. During the year we followed the principles of Girl Guiding. We played games, learnt from Skills Builders and undertook interest badges. We were able to get into the great outdoors and start to learn to look after ourselves and the world we live in. We enjoyed international activities to think about Brownies in other parts of the world. We also took part in activities with other sections within Girl Guiding.
