10th North Huddersfield, St. Thomas' Rainbows and Brownies.

We take girls from 7 to 10 years of age.
We do all sorts of activities, crafts, games and theme evenings being some of them. Theme evenings take the form of trying foods from other countries and looking at the brownies in that country and some of the customs they have and others. We have evenings where we do work on gaining the badges, which are such a big part of being a brownie. Being a part of Girl Guiding UK we wear uniform and make a promise. We have also recently updated our programme in line with the new programme introduced by Girl Guiding UK. We were really pleased to be given the gift of a grant from our local charity shop, which is run by volunteers from all the local churches. This enabled us to buy new resources for all the girls.
Several times during the year we have joint church services with the boys uniformed groups, led by either Vicar David or David Hewitt or more often both. Sometimes these are in church and sometimes at the nearby Scout camp where there is a lovely outdoor chapel.
This year the unit will be celebrating 40 years since it was established so we are hoping to hold an open evening later in the year to show some of the things we do.
If you would like more information please phone Carol on 01484 306359.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Rainbows


We do all sorts of activities - crafts, games and competitions being some of them. The programme is soon to undergo some changes, which makes this an exciting time to join us.
We take girls from 5 to 7 years of age. The unit is run by two leaders, both of who are very experienced in working with children.
Our Rainbows wear red tabards as uniform and make a promise similar to Brownies but shorter.
