Thank you for your help.
I was shown the badge box, and told to have a look, but then she shut the box and locked it away in the cupboard. I asked for a badge book and she said “oh well I suppose I could dig one out, but...” She wanted me to find one. Ok, no problem I will try and borrow one from somewhere.
Yes, DD is happy in the unit. It’s a bit awkward because we live in a little rural village and Snowy Owl is fairly mature. She made a plea in the parish magazine for more brownies, so I contacted her and said DD wants to come but is 6, can I register her to help with your Numbers? Anyway eventually we got registered, loads of confusion and Snowy Owl finding computer things tricky. The village next door has a massive brownie unit, they’ve recently started and taken the girls away from our unit. They went to the district commissioner to ask for the unit not to be allowed to start up due to competition for girls. So I sort of feel loyal to our unit. I can walk through the village to get to it, it feels right. The other unit has a long waiting list. Ours is struggling for numbers. Ours do loads of trips and seems really active where the next door village stay in the hall every week. For example we went to the guiding odeon screening for Mary poppins and the other unit didn’t ask the brownies.
I don’t think DD would want to move, but this is the second week in a row she’s cried at brownies. She’s a tough cookie and doesn’t cry easily.
Really it’s the badges that the tricky bit, I will encourage her to do the older badges. But it seems a shame not to get the badge when she’s done the work. I was at the meeting so heard SOWL in the circle handing out badges and praising all the girls apart from my DD who she handed it to saying XXX here is another for you.
