Netherlee Brownies are thinking ahead

The 3rd Netherlee Brownies celebrated Thinking Day — the birthday of founder Lord Baden Powell — with a visit from a very special guest.

The girls welcomed author and speaker Christine McGrory, who challenged them to approach the Girl Guide ethos ‘always think of others before yourself’ from a new angle, instead exploring what they want to be later in life.

Brownie leader Jane Cowan told The Extra: “Christine demonstrated in an enjoyable way that by putting themselves first, the girls can be of more use to their community, as they will have the confidence and tools to make changes.”
