Brownie Sash - Brownie Guide Uniform

Product Information

Interest badges, skills builders and awards- as girls earn these badges they should be sewn on to any item of uniform. Many girls like to add these onto their hoodies or their badge sash.

Interest badges are for a Guide to plan and complete herself. The interest badges are designed to allow rangatahi to explore topics and activities, and to challenge themselves to improve skills in areas of interest. Once rangatahi have been a Pippin for a few weeks they are given their Pippin Membership Badge. This badge could be given to them at a Joining Ceremony. Within Guides rangatahi are divided into smaller groups called Patrols. Older Guides lead these groups. The leader is called a Patrol Leader and their helper is called the Assistant Patrol Leader.All girls should have a uniform top and bottom chosen from the Brownie uniform range. These can be worn for unit meetings, trips and events where formal uniform is needed. You will complete a Leadership Option for your Queen’s Guide Award, but you can also complete a second Leadership Option for your Gold Challenge.

Each year there are different events that take place that a Guide may get a badge for their participation. This might include a day event or Community Action Project. Your Red Leadership Badge is your opportunity to further develop, extend and practise your leadership in an area of your choosing. Community Action is volunteering; it’s about making a positive contribution or change. It further builds on Rangers volunteering with extended practical action in their community.

The Guide Programme structure is based around the opportunity to gain three Endeavour Badges. The requirements for each badge are slightly different but include: Exploration Challenge badges, Unit badges, Interest badges and Camp badges. After a little research, it’s actually quite a cute story that makes sense for a group of six-year-olds to believe. In a story that gets told to Brownies, two children go into the woods to find a Brownie to help their mum tidy up their house and are guided by a wise owl. As the owl helps the children, Brownie leaders are named after owls. 8. The feeling of accomplishment when carrying the flag at a parade This comes straight after the strange initiation ceremony, you form the number three with your fingers and make the moment that’ll define the rest of your time as a Brownie for as long as you can remember. Making your promise was such a big deal, with all the parents taking videos and photos to be inevitably shared all across Facebook while you face the deep internal fear of stumbling when reciting the promise and Brownie Guide Law.

Brownies follow our programme . In unit meetings, they do fun activities, play games and earn skills builder badges, all while being supported by our trained volunteers.Something I think most girls who were Brownies can relate to is the weird obsession with the Queen being an underlying theme in absolutely everything we did. If it wasn’t your Brownie promise it was definitely making sure you knew the words to the “God Save the Queen” ready for church the next morning ahead of the parade, because if you mumbled and didn’t know the words – everybody would know about it. 7. Leaders being named after owls Within Brownies rangatahi are divided into smaller groups called Sixes. Older Brownies lead these groups. The leader is called a Sixer and their helper is called a Seconder. Green Community Action will give Rangers the opportunity to volunteer for their community and their town, their country, or the world. Whānui badges encourage rangatahi to look wider than the Brownie section. They include badges that may be local initiatives right through to badges that are international initiatives driven by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. If you’re a Guide, how about using your new talents to complete the Craftivism interest badge? Craftivism is all about crafting items that make a statement and challenge injustice. Grab a sewing needle and change the world.

Brownies might also want to accessorise with other items from our range, for example, with a baseball cap, but this is not part of the uniform. Where do Brownie badges go? The Peak Award provides opportunities for Rangers to further develop skills in a range of areas, including leadership, community action, and advocacy. Girls can accessorise with additional items from our range - for example, a tabardor baseball cap- but these are not part of the uniform. Where to put Rainbow badges Each year there are different events that take place that a Brownie may get a badge for their participation. This might include a day event, Community Action Project or a Brownie Camp. The traditional way to attach badges to uniform is to sew them on.It’sthe cheapest way to do it and will never leave a mark on your uniform when you take the badge off to put on a camp blanket.And it’s not as hard as it sounds!

A Brownie completes a few different activities to enable Leaders to get to know them as well as introduce them to the Brownie programme and rangatahi in the Unit. Once they have completed these activities a Brownie Promise Ceremony takes place and they receive their Promise Badge.
