Our Promise Ceremony
When the Brownies did their Writer badge, this is how Heather described our Promise ceremony..."This is what we do when a new person comes to Brownies. We get a mat for the grass and the mirror for the water and Robin and Bluebird make an arch. Then your sixer takes you under the arch and she says 'Twist me and turn me and show me the elf, I looked in the water and there saw...' and the person says 'myself'. Then your sixer takes you to Brown Owl and tells her the person's name and says that she wants to be a Brownie. Brown Owl says to the person that you must promise to carry it out everywhere and every day. Then the new person makes her promise and they get their badge from Brown Owl and she shakes her hand. Then she shakes hands with Snowy Owl and Snowy Owl puts our necker on her. Then she shakes hands with Tawny Owl, Robin and Bluebird. We all say 'Well done' three times and the person says 'Thank you' three times and then she is a real Brownie"
