with guest Jan Brandis from Ingatestone Brownies.
One 2 Three
Patrick Sherring


Jan said that she had joined the Ingatestone Brownies when she was aged seven years and never left. She will be receiving an award for fifty years of leadership of a the group. She told us how the group had met on Zoom lockdown. An activity during that time had been to put a rainbow card through the door on anyone they knew in their street who was on their own. One of the Brownie badges needed the girls to name fifty things that fly, so Jan invited a pilot to talk with the girls. He was amazed at the intelligence of their questions. Jan talked about the wide range of skills that the girls develop when they attend the groups. She is also very keen for them to have an input on what they would like to do. Recently they said they wanted to learn to fly kites. With the use of the internet to provide videos of instructions, the girls made kites and then flew them, much to their delight.  Jan reminded us that Brownie and Guides leaders are all volunteers. In Ingatestone the Guides group is no longer active, and Jan said how wonderful it would be if new leaders came forward.
