Growing Brownies seek leaders

DUE to an increase in numbers, the Palmwoods Brownies and Guides are seeking extra helpers.

The Brownies are looking for a unit helper, who will be either someone wanting to become a Brownie member and wear the uniform, or a community member who would just like to lend a hand.

If you have a special talent for craft or sport, or anything you think might interest the girls, phone Margaret Smith on 5442 1706 for further details.

The Girl Guides, aged 10 to 15, also require a leader. There are currently only two girls in the Guide group, but a number of Brownies are looking to graduate into the older age group next year.

Guides do more physical activities such as camping, canoeing and abseiling, than Brownies.

Anyone interested should contact Josie Fry on 5442 2417.

The organisation is also looking for a district leader to liaise between the parents and leaders.

Everyone is invited to attent the group's AGM to be held in the hut, Montville Road, Palmwoods on Wednesday, October 29, at 7.30pm. A light supper will be served after the meeting.
