Our membership was of 24 girls with an average of 20 attending each week.
We had 2 trips to the local cinema with other Girl guiding units.
We had our first sleepover at the Brownie meeting place with a pamper theme.
We took the Brownies on an overnight camp with a St Patricks Day theme to Lorne Activity Centre where this did crafts and various outdoor activities.
