A summary of the Charity’s main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit and the main achievements in the year
This year our Brownie Unit welcomed 23 girls , supported by a growing leadership team. We were delighted to gain three new volunteers —one transferring from our Rainbows Unit and two joining Girlguiding for the first time—strengthening our capacity to deliver a varied and engaging programme. The girls took part in a wide range of activities as they worked towards First Aid Stage 2 and Camp Stage 2 , developing practical skills, confidence, and independence. Alongside these core challenges, the Brownies also completed several interest and achievement badges , including Brownies Be Well , Mindfulness , Grow Your Own , Dancing , Brownies Have Adventures , Explore , and Space . These activities encouraged creativity, resilience, teamwork, and curiosity about the world around them.
Together, these experiences supported the girls in developing new skills, building friendships, and embracing the Guiding ethos of learning, adventure, and fun.
