The 13th Coatbridge Brownies finished off last term with a special treat at the Hollywood Bowl. A great time was had by all and it was a fun and relaxing summer for the Guiders with a special birthday being celebrated by Wilma.

We started back on the 21st of August with lots of stories to tell our friends about what happened over the summer. Congratulations to Jillian who graduated from her HNC and got a job as an Early Years Worker, you would think she had enough of kids dealing with us every week.

We all had a fantastic time at the Centenary Launch Parties over the first weekend in September. This is only the start of a year long Celebration for Guiding and we hope to participate in lots of activities, days out and camps not only local but all over the UK.

We have been working very hard on our badge work this session with a Fit and Healthy Theme. We completed our Agility and Sports badges in September and our Healthy Heart Badge in October. In November we were working on our Cooks badge which was giving us plenty of baking practice for our Coffee Evening on the 27th of November. We completed several Christmas crafts before we finished up the year with a special festive treat.

We look forward to the next term and are always happy to welcome new friends to our unit so if you know of anyone aged 7-10 who would like to come along on Friday nights please contact Old Monkland Church via the Contact Page.
