Brownies Meeting Schedule

Below are two sets of Brownie plans. First are are the plans from my Brownie Unit. These plans begin in September 2010. I am working to complete posting the remainder of year two meetings.

The second set of plans were shared with me from another Guider in my area. I did not create the second set of plans but was fortunate enough to receive them and was given permission to share them online. These plans were used between September 2008 and June 2010.


Year One

Our goal this year is to complete the following keys: Key to Brownies, Key to I Can, Key to Me, Key to the Arts, Key to Camping, Key to Girl Guides.We have added in National and Provincial challenges along the way to supplement the keys that we are working on.  We also have added in interest badges so that all girls will at least have earned some of them (not all girls work on them at home).
