A group of 1st Wymondham Brownies recently attended the Norjam Cub and Brownie Day at the Norfolk Showground.

Norjam is a week-long International Jamboree that brings together Scouts and Guides. It is traditionally held every 4 years in Norfolk. During this week, there are two Cub and Brownie days when both young groups can join in on the fun and activities the camp has to offer. The theme of the day was Carnival of Fun, and the brownies took part in a variety of things, including crafts, circus skills, an inflatable donkey derby and lots of dancing! There were smiles all round!

As the pack name suggests, 1st Wymondham Brownies was the first Brownie unit to open in the town and celebrated its centenary last year. Along with the other Guiding groups in Wymondham (Rainbows, Guides, Rangers and 4 more Brownie units), we offer the girls an action-packed programme with a chance to meet new friends, learn new skills, build confidence and of course have fun!

None of this is possible without adult volunteers, and sadly, like many areas, we are lacking these in Wymondham. There are many different ways to volunteer for Guiding, from working directly with the girls to supporting behind the scenes. Further information about volunteering and how to register an interest can be found here.It would be great to see Guiding in Wymondham continue for another 100 years!
