Residential activities are fun – Brownies and Leaders consistently rate them among the best things about guiding. They offer opportunities not only for learning and having fun, but also for developing skills like teamwork, leadership and independent living. Leaders are able to get to know the girls in their unit better, in a pleasant environment and over a period of time.
Originally Brownie units went to outdoor camps like their older sisters, but many people felt that Brownies were too young to cope successfully with outdoor life. In 1922 it was suggested that Brownie units had holidays in furnished houses instead of camping. Brownie holidays caught on quickly; girls everywhere delighted in the fun and challenge of living together as a family, playing and working without time restrictions and getting to know each other better.
Today’s Brownies can experience many different types of residential event and venue, including camping – overnight or for a longer period of time.
Brownie holiday is one of our favourite events as Brownies. We have been on many holidays and have stayed in lots of different places. Sometimes when we go away it is just 1st Little Paxton Brownies, other times we go away with other Brownie packs or with Guides.
This page is all about our Brownie Holidays in 2018. For other years, please use the menus on the left.
1st Little Paxton Brownies will be joining Brownies from across the Anglia Region for Starburst, a special Brownie weekend at Butlins, Skegness.
