North Tyneside Big Brownie Birthday

6th July 2014 was the day of our Celebration for the Brownies 100th birthday. Beaconsfield at Tynemouth was taken over by the Girlguiding North Tyneside County team who had worked so hard to prepare for the day. Bouncy castles, Puppet shows, fun races, a fashion show of Brownie uniforms, an archive display of photographs, the North Tyneside Steel Band and plenty of sideshows to test your skills. I was in the craft tent helping children make Rosebuds. It was a bit fiddly but the children all did so well making them and patiently waiting in line for their turn. I made sure they knew that when Brownies started they were called Rosebuds. It was a great day and even the sun decided to join in the fun. Another 4.5 hours of volunteering for the Voyage Award.
