We are girls aged 7 - 10. Lots of us were Pippins before becoming Brownies. We like to do many activities. In 2005 we have been working on the Our Rights and Our Responsibilities challenge as well as Themes and Specialised and Unit Badges. We joined with 37th Wellington Brownies for an indoor camp in June. It was fun. For most of us it was our first Brownie camp. In November a lot of us also went to the District Camp. Some of us even got to sleep in tents there. We have an awesome leader and have had a great Ranger helper and Guide helper too. We are looking forward to getting to know our new Ranger and Guide helpers in 2006, and doing lots more fun stuff together.
Lots of us were also Pippins before becoming Brownies. We enjoy playing games, bush walks, outdoor activities, crafts, going on trips, camps and sleepovers and getting badges. In 2005 we have been working on Themes, Bear Patches, other clauses of our 8Up badge. We went for a visit to the supermarket bakery for part of the Our Rights and Our Responsibilities challenge. We had a sleepover at a local Guide Hall and a lot of us went to the District Camp as well. It was great fun, some of us were able to sleep in tents there too. We have had two great leaders this past year as well as a Ranger and a Guide helper. For 2006 we are starting with one leader and are looking forward to sharing lots of fun together.

We are a smaller group, but we still have heaps of fun. Lots of us were Pippins before we came to Brownies too. In 2005 we have been working on the Our Rights and Our Responsibilities challenge, Bear Patches, Themes and other 8Up clauses. We joined with 8th Wellington Brownies to have an indoor camp in June. It was lots of fun. For some of us it was our first Brownie camp, some of us had been to sleepovers before. It was lots of fun. Most of us went to the District Camp as well and had a great time. We have two cool leaders and have had a great Ranger helper for the past couple of years, we will miss her in 2006. We are looking forward to another year of fun together.
