Brownies Learn Now To Be Good Citizens By Mrs. Margaret Webb Leader, Brownie Troop 329 Brownies can do anything. They can learn to be good citizens, to be friendmakers, be ready helpers, and discoverers discov-erers of the world around them. Brownies learn to be good citizens by doing service projects. For example, filling Red Cross Friendship Boxes (used in time of disasters) w ith their pencils, balls, jacks, marbles, paper, etc. These were sent to the Teton Dam disaster victims. Other projects proj-ects include singing to the old folks at the hospital, planting flowers at the Public Library, making tray favors at Thanksgiving Thanks-giving for the Sundwall Center and the hospital. These things illustrate their learning to care for their community, country and others. Brownies learn to be friend-makers, friend-makers, through games, by helping each other, by just being part of the Brownie Troop. We have people from different parts of the community commun-ity come to Brownie meetings to share witn me girls tnings they know and are interested in. Mrs. Sheldon Hefner, a teacher at Southeast Elementary Elemen-tary attended a Brownie meeting and told the girls about the island of Guam where she lived for a few years. The girls took up a collection for the Thinking Day Fund and sent the money to help the Girl Scouts of Guam get things they lost when a typhoon struck their island last summer. The girls also make different things. They learn how to be creative and how to use their hands. The girls learn to lay fires, some basic first aid, how to use a pocket knife, and how to tie different knots. Many useful things are learned around home such as setting the table, sweeping floors and making beds. There's more to being a Brownie than crafts and games. Brownies can do anything! |
