The 53rd Oldham Brownie Pack

Greenacres Congregational Church

 

We are very pleased to announce that our Brownie Pack has begun its new term of activities on Thursday 11th April, 2002. All girls aged 7 to 10 years will be most welcome to join the pack at 6.30pm each Thursday for an enjoyable evening of games, crafts and fun.

For more information please email our Minister.

 

Hopefully, the Brownies will be able to contribute their own material to this web site in the near future.

Until then, here is some information from the official web site of the Guiding Movement (well worth a visit).

The 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.
