Eccles Brownies go Stargazing

9th Eccles Brownies "Star Gazing" weekend at Waddow, Friday 21st - Sunday 23rd April.

 

What a great weekend we had, the girls were so excited to be camping! We're not sure the leaders were as excited, but it was great fun in the end! The girls took part in lots of activities, such as a night- walk, zip-wire, grass sledging, night line and lots of fun activities learning all about the stars and the constellations.
We collected fire wood on the Saturday night and had a good old Brownie sing a long with lots of other Brownies from other units and of course, toasted marshmallows! Our young leaders were amazing at the camp fire and kept the girls entertained and topped up with marshmallows.

 

The girls behaviour was outstanding and it was a joy to watch them all bond together and look after each other, whilst they were away from home and not in a warm, homely building(!)

 

The girls at 9th Eccles Brownies have been asking for a while to camp, and it really was great fun earning their camp badge, but it was very cold!! They said next year they would like to go back to being indoors on their next pack holiday! The leaders agree!!
