Hi there! Welcome to my new blog 'Thoughts from a Brownie Unit' (slightly based off the vlogbrothers' 'Thoughts from Places' videos, if you know what that is...)! I'm going to use this to tell you about what my Brownie unit does every week and hopefully provide you with some ideas for your units. Or just some light entertainment; our girls can come out with some rather amusing stories..!
But first, a few facts about me:
- My name is Lizzy
- I live in the United Kingdom
- I'm a Young Leader/Adult Leader-in-Training at my local Brownie unit (where Mum is Brown Owl...)
- I joined Guiding when I was 5, as a Rainbow, and have passed through all stages of Guiding
- I have attended the unit since I was born, pretty much, but I've been officially helping since 2006
- I am an avid Whovian, Sherlock fan, Nerdfighter, Youtube watcher and all around nerd... Yep, I just admitted to that!
- I have applied to do Maths and Computer Science at university in September
Now, a few facts about the unit I help at:
- For those of you who don't know, Brownies is for 7-11 year old girls here in the UK
- We meet every Thursday evening in the local church hall
- Our unit was founded in 1963 so we celebrated our 50th birthday a few months back (yes, we share our birth year with Doctor Who!)
- We have 2 Qualified Adult Leaders (Brown Owl and Snowy Owl), a regular parent helper, an Adult Leader in Training (me), a Young Leader, and a Guide helping us!
And, finally, I will endeavour to upload every week, on Mondays, but have some patience in the first few weeks as I figure out how to fit it into my schedule... And bear with me as I figure out what I want this blog to look like.
If there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask it in the comments and I will do my best to answer.
I'm going to shut up now..! Thank you and enjoy!
