Activities at Brownies
We gain badges either at our meetings or at home, hobbies and activities such as dancing, swimming and horse riding that we do can gain us badges too."This Autumn Term the whole Pack has gained the Communication Badge, for this we covered all aspects of communication including learning to use Finger Signing."
After Brownies we can join Guides, both of our Young Leaders used to be Brownies at Birch Green when they were younger.
WINNERS OF ROYAL BRITISH LEGION CUP 2010
Maddy, Christina, Elly and Megan – winners of the Royal British Legion Cup for 1st Birch Green Brownies
We are delighted to win the RBL Cup this year, last time we won it was 2004. This year the competition was based on the Healthy Hearts Badge. We had to do lots of activities as a Pack covering healthy eating and making vegetable and fruit characters. Designing breakfasts, learning about Brownie Uniforms over the past 100 years and writing letters to important people telling them about Brownies. These varied from the Queen, Sting, various people from TV programs and some Grannies.

Autumn 2009 found the Brownies reaching for the stars - working for the Stargazer Badge. We did our "Good Turn" by packing up 7 parcels of books and sweets, including letters, drawings and prayers and sending them off to the Royal Marines in Afghanistan - we are hoping somebody will write back to us!
Summer Party
Summer term 2009 was a busy time, we all travelled the world go get our
World Travellers Badge, got fit doing the Agility Badge and finished
the term with a Summer Theme Fancy Dress Party. We played games, did
the Limbo, all beat up the Pinata to get to the goodies inside. Best
six for the Summer term were the Gnomes and Best Brownie was Ellie
Louise Evans.

Sports Day
we had a very good day at the Brownie Sports this year doing 14 different activities including football, throwing wellies, croquet, hockey & obstacle races.
Night Hike 2009
This year we entered 3 teams - a total of 21 Brownies - they set off at around 7.00p.m. and walked 4.25km round Much Hadham. On the way they completed challenges based on the "Pirate" theme and kept their eyes and torches alert for the questions and markers along the way. Nobody got lost thanks to the orienteering skills of all the parents that accompanied the girls. The weather was very good and tired but happy Brownies enjoyed drinks and hot dogs at the end of the evening. All walkers were given a "Pirate" themed badge.
"We entered two teams in the Soap Box Derby - Green Power 1 and Green Power 2. Both teams got through to the semi finals which was fantastic.
Unfortunately Green Power 2 got wiped out by a large shopping trolley in their semi final, luckily only minor injuries were sustained.
Pond dipping at Lemsford springs
As the evenings get lighter the Brownies took advantage and had a great evening at Lemsford springs in June. The springs provide’s a safe environment and great facilities.

A big thank you to Barry Trevis the warden and Andy Chapman.
