What are Brownies?
Any girl aged seven or over can be a Brownie. The oldest Brownies are usually about ten years old. Membership is voluntary and is open to any girl, regardless of faith, race, culture, nationality or any other circumstance, provided she is able to understand and willing to make the Promise.
What do Brownies do?
Brownies have fun! They take part in indoor and outdoor activities that challenge them to do their best! Their meetings are action-packed and full of games, activities and challenges, usually ones that the Brownies have suggested themselves. They can also work for a wide range of interest badges. Everything a Brownie does is an adventure - it's a world of excitement, new interests and friends.
Brownie Packs meet regularly, usually once a week during school terms. The Pack is made up of small groups called Sixes. This gives each girl a group of ready-made friends to take care of her. It also makes her feel she belongs to something special. There are often other opportunities for Brownies to take part in special activities and events throughout the year.
Many Brownie Packs go away on holiday, to camp or on an overnight sleepover.

The Brownie Guide Promise
Brownies make this simple Promise that they share with members around the world:
I promise that I will do my best:
To love my God,
To serve the Queen and my country,
To help other people
and
To keep the Brownie Guide Law.
The Brownie Guide Law
A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself and does a Good Turn every day.
Uniform
A Brownie chooses her outfit from a range of Brownie wear. A Brownie does not have to wear the same combination of garments as others in her Pack. The specially designed Brownie clothes are stylish, practical, economical and fun for today's girls. There is something to suit every Brownie whatever she is doing, indoors or out - so she is bound to find something she will love to wear.
Scotland
There are 30,000 Brownies all over Scotland with Brownie Packs from Shetland to the Borders.
