Membership is open to any girl attending Ceara regardless of faith, race, culture, nationality or any other circumstance, provided she is able to understand and willing to make the Brownie Promise.

Brownie Promise:

I promise that I will do my best:

To love my God,

To serve the Queen and my country,

To help other people and

To keep the Brownie Guide Law.

The Brownie Law is:

A Brownie Guide thinks before herself

and does a good turn every day.

What do 1st Ceara Brownies do?

1st Ceara Brownies have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor adventure activities that challenge and encourage them to do their best. Our meetings are action packed and full of challenges, arts and crafts, badge work, campfire songs and team games that we play in our sixes.

Sixes

                    Leprechaun          Sprite

The pack is made up of small groups called sixes. There are two sixes in Ceara Brownies: Leprechauns and Sprites. You wear a special badge on your uniform to show which six you belong to. A team of adult leaders run the pack. Our leaders are names after owls: Brown Owl, Tawny Owl, Snowy Owl, Barn Owl and Little Owl.

Badges

There are also lots of different badges to do. Some of the badges 1st Ceara Brownies have worked for include Cook, Fire Safety, Safety in the Home, Party Planner, Communicator, Seasons. The Brownies are currently working on the World Guiding Badge.

Brownie Adventure Days

There are also Brownie Adventure days to look forward to: Each year on 22nd February, Brownies (and Scouts) all over the world remember their founders Lord and Lady Baden Powell. 1st Ceara Brownies join with Brownies from other Packs for a big party.  This year we are having an African themed party on Thursday 24th February. We are looking forward to meeting Brownies from other Brownie Packs. It is great fun meeting new Brownies and learning new games and crafts.
