smallhobbitLast week we had a challenge event. I normally organise one a year, with the idea of four different challenges to be tackled by the Brownies in their sixes, moving round from challenge to challenge. It's quite leader intensive, because it normally requires one leader per challenge, plus one challenge which can be done by the girls without assistance.
This year was the Brownie Six Name Challenge, in which each challenge was (very) vaguely related to the name of the sixes. So we had Squirrels, with plaiting wool (to do with the tail), Hedgehogs, growing cress seeds in mini yoghurt pots (so the spikes), Badgers had a word search (black and white, like a badger), and Moles with origami (okay, that one defeats me, but I thought it would be fun). We made fish, which are very effective, but a bit fiddly especially when I'm trying to do it upside down.
The girls all enjoyed themselves, and Snowy Owl, who's from the District and provided support for this half term, was impressed with the way they rose to the challenge. And since everyone completed all four challenges - and therefore received four stars for the little challenge booklets they made - I gave them each a small animal-shaped rubber.
This week, with Glitter Owl on holiday, Snowy Owl ran the evening. We made iced biscuits in the style of a camp fire:
And sang Brownie/Guide camp fire songs. Some of which I haven't sung since TD was a guide.
