Brownie Scouts are 6-8 year old girls or girls in 1st-3rd grade.

 

THE BROWNIE NAME:

Our Brownie age level gets its name from folk tales of little brownies that would enter homes and help the occupants with housework. This sets the tone for Brownie Scouts who are learning to help others.

UNIFORMS:

Brownies wear a special pin depicting a brownie elf in the Girl Scout trefoil. They may also wear either a brown sash or vest to display their earned awards and participation patches. Other uniform pieces are available, including sweats, pants, skorts, shirts, socks and yes, the classic brownie beanie. All items are optional, although the girls enjoying wearing a vest (or sash).

 

ACTIVITIES:

Brownies sing; play games; do crafts; explore science, nature, their community and history and more. They hike and camp. The activities are designed to introduce them to a wide variety of topics so they begin to understand their own strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes as well as develop confidence as they discover they can do all kinds of things.

 

COST:

Girls must be registered with GSUSA in order to participate in Girl Scout activities. Other expenses are optional and are determined by the scout, family & troop.
