A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
In September we had the honour of taking 4 of our Brownies plus 3 leaders to meet King Charles when he came to visit Hillsborough after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The girls got to shake his hand and say hello. They were amazing representatives for Girlguiding.
We had 13 Brownies plus leaders taking part in the annual Remembrance Day Parade in Hillsborough.
We only had 4 girls join our Brownie Pack this year, they said their Promise at our Annual Ceremony where they were presented with their Promise Badge and we had a celebration with the whole Brownie Pack in an end of term party for Christmas.
We played lots of games, including Hungry Hippos. We pitched tents and completed the Brownies have adventures Skill Builder.
We had a campfire, made smores and sang songs as our end of year celebration.
There was no harm flowing from the Charities purposes and there was no private benefit.
