AS A GIRL SCOUT BROWNIE
Discovers the world around her as she learns more about herself, her family and her friends. Girl Scout Brownies have a lot of fun together! They sing the Brownie Smile song, sleep in tents, go on hikes and tell stories around campfires under the stars. (Don't forget hot chocolate and s’mores!) They may visit museums or zoos, meet people who have interesting jobs or exchange SWAPS (Special Whatchamacallits Affectionately Pinned Somewhere) with new friends.
Brownies are fun-loving adventurers, stepping out of their family and school surroundings to learn more about themselves in relation to others. The name "Brownie" is used in Girl Guide and Girl Scout organzations worldwide, and the Brownie program is part of the fabric of growing up in the United States.
Girl Scout Brownies earn badges by exploring different activities from dancing and cooking to math and science.
Brownie Meetings:
A typical Brownie meeting includes songs, crafts, games and exploration of new places and ideas. Brownie Journey programs encourage this exploration and help girls grow into leaders through the National Program Portfolio and Girl Scout Leadership Experience.
Brownies can earn badges which introduce them to activities and let them try something new.
