Frogz and Youth Group

Frogs is the new group for children aged aged 8-10. It meets in the hall twice a month. There is a modest session charge to cover running expenses.

The Youth Group for people aged 11-13 (years 7 and 8) also meets twice a month.

For more information about when and where, contact the parish office.

Brownies

Brownies are usually aged between 7 and 10, although some stay until they are older. Any girl over the age of seven can become a Brownie as long as she can understand, and wants to make, the Brownie Guide Promise.

Brownies belong to a Pack and work in small groups called Sixes. This gives each Brownie a group of friends to take care of her. It also makes her feel that she belongs to something special.

Brownie Guides have fun! The meetings are full of activities, including suggestions from the Brownies themselves. There are opportunities to learn new skills and be part of a team by taking part in games. Brownies can also work for a wide range of badges. As well as the regular meetings, there may also be special activities and events.

Guides

Guides are usually aged between 10 and 14, although some stay until they are older. Any girl over the age of ten can become a Guide as long as she can understand, and wants to make, the Guide Promise.

What do Guides do? Guides have fun, in lots of different ways. If you enjoy crafts, games, helping others, learning life skills then Guides is for you. Like being outdoors? Guides go camping, walking, even abseilling!

Being a Guide is about belonging to a group, making friends, learning skills and helping others. Each Guide is encouraged to achieve her own personal goals through opportunities to work for a wide variety of badges. This allows the girl to develop at her own speed.

Guides work together in groups of four to eight girls, providing a group of friends and helping the girls to feel that they belong to something special. They elect their own leader. A Patrol plans its own activities with the support of the Guider so that each Guide learns to share in decisions that affect herself and others in her Patrol.
