Welcome to 1^st Bridgewater Brownies Homepage!!!

Being a Brownie opens windows of opportunities: opportunities to have fun while learning new things and taking part in adventurous activities.  The new Brownie program for 7 and 8 year olds maintains our values and traditions while introducing life skills necessary for today and tomorrow.  Brownies make new friends and explore their abilities by sharing adventures and new experiences.  They find achievement and self confidence under a toadstool.

Brownies will open up a girl's world and foster respect for herself, for others and for this world we call home.  Brownies is a two year program for 7 and 8 year olds.  Girls meet on a weekly basis, usually for 1 1/2 hours, in groups of about 18 to 24.  There are at least two Guiders present in each Unit.

The Brownie Program is an experience-based, developmentally appropriate program for this age group, and above all, fun for the girls.  It is based on the premise that girls learn by best by doing.  Brownies gives girls the opportunity to do things, be active, have fun and practice the concepts of friendship, co-operation and helping others. 

Brownie camping and nature activities promote environmental stewardship and an understanding of the wonders of nature and are loads of fun and adventure!
