This week we continued our theme of getting to know you games and started again with a massive foam dice, a sheet load of questions and took turns to answer and share something about ourselves with the rest of the unit. Though one question did make us all giggle “is your dad strong?” – not …
And we’re back! After what seemed a very, very long summer break, we finally returned to Brownies this week. We had 4 new girls join us: Izzy C and Izzy D joining Girlguiding for the first time along with Vika from Ukraine. Emily’s little sister Jessica joined us too. After a lovely pow-wow with introductions, …
Mr Daffodil has spent most of summer holidays re-designing our website from scratch! Full of fantastic photographs of our Brownies and everything you need to know about Girlguiding, Brownies and even our leaders. As before it includes our weekly programme and upcoming events for the next few terms. For those leaders from far and wide …
This week was our last one of the term, and we finished with our annual Sports Day. Daisy, Sunflower, Lilly and Blossom with help from Blue Cheese and Paige set up and ran the event. In our Sixes we completed lots of fun games including football slalom, skipping, bean bag balancing, wheelbarrows, sprint races and …
This week was a little exciting and included lots of cake! We welcomed back all those who missed last week and heard how much they enjoyed attending the Guides taster evening. In our Sixes, we then went on a penny hike to explore our local area (as part of the Trefoil 80th anniversary badge). The …
This week we continued working on the Trefoil 80th anniversary badge by making postcards to send to a local nursing home.

We don’t know how but the nippers were awake from 6am! We thought they’d be tired after getting up so early on Saturday morning and having such a busy day but no such luck!! Whilst Dame Edna and our helpers prepared breakfast, the rest of the nippers started rolling sleeping bags and packing. Breakfast was …
The Aussies were up bright and early at 6.30am to get ready for the girls arriving later. Dame Edna treated us to lovely bacon baps then it was time to go and collect the girls. Usually, arrivals are very quick as parents just drop off at the house but this year due to the large …

As per previous years, our fantastic Australian themed “I’m a Brownie Get me out of here” holiday started just after lunchtime for Daffodil (aka Sheila) who drove the 42 miles to Trusthorpe.
