Brownies Online

Brownies haven't met since my last Brownie post, so I'm very glad we managed to complete and award the Stage 3 Explore badge.

Some units are running things online, but we're not - there's only so much time and so much energy.

However, Girlguiding had just designed a new set of holiday badges, including one for Easter, so I decided we could use that for a suitable badge for those who wanted to do something. 
There were three simple challenges:
- Design a brightly coloured Easter egg, for which I provided a template shape
- Work out the names for the baby animals where the letters are mixed up
- Make a flower out of coloured paper/lego/junk materials

All very simple and easy to do at home, and so far seven of them have completed the challenge and posted the results on our (closed) Facebook page.

We're also encouraging the Brownies to work on other interest badges if they want to.

It's wonderful that the Brownies can work on their Easter badge at home. It was a really good idea to come up with those three simple challenges that they could complete at home. It's great that seven girls have completed the work for their badges already. It's good to keep the Brownies busy and engaged with more than just schoolwork.

Thank you. They all seemed to have enjoyed themselves - their photos had them all smiling and looking pleased with what they'd achieved. We were glad to provide a fun activity for them.
