We’re incredibly proud of one of our Brownies, Katie, who has won the Dorothy Bond Trophy at Taunton Flower Show !

Katie designed a brand-new badge, and her fantastic design earned her the trophy for the second year running — winning both last year and again this year!

What an amazing achievement and a brilliant display of creativity. Huge congratulations, Katie — we’re all so proud of you!

Happy International Owl Awareness Day!

Did you know all of our Brownie leaders have owl names? We have Snowy Owl, Poppy Owl, Lucky Owl, Diamond Owl, Ruby Owl and Purple Owl!

This September we're welcoming a new leader, and our Brownies will have the exciting job of choosing her owl name. We can't wait to hear what they decide!

Did your Brownie unit use owl names too? Whether you're a current or former Brownie, leader or parent, let us know your owl names in the comments!

Our new uniform range has officially been released!

Our new uniform is higher quality with an improved fit, offering better value to make you feel comfortable, confident and ready for every guiding occasion, from adventures to formal events.

With fun new accessories, the uniform was co-created with 55,000 members and girls, designed to be sustainable and flexible, so you can wear it your way. All anyone needs to wear to be in uniform is a top from their section or range. It's up to you what you choose, whether it's the t-shirt or the whole outfit and you can style everything with your own clothes.

And that’s a wrap! Our final session before the summer holidays consisted of some water fun out in the sun which the girls LOVED.
A busy night where also:
- Amelia and Amelia-Ray made their promises
- Izzy G gained her gold award
- We said goodbye to 9 leavers who are flying the nest onto Guides
We look forward to seeing you in September! Have a good summer ☀️
