Brownies

We just had the most fun Brownies session today so I thought I'd write about it. We're working on our Technofunk badge (technology stuff) so where better to visit than our house, the place of tech. So 15 Brownies who had been waiting for this day to come for weeks piled into our place, with Dan and my assistant leader Fiona helping out. I set up 6 different techie activities around the house, including internet, digital camera, using a photocopier and best of all, Dance Dance Revolution on the Playstation and Wii Bowling!

I don't think there has ever been so much excited noise in our house ever. They had the most amazing time playing with everything, and LOVED Preston being here too. He loved all the attention and showed them all how to use the camera and games - the Brownies were a bit concerned he was playing with the camera but I explained he knew what to do because he has already earned his Technofunk badge :) (Now I'll have to get him a mini Brownie sash!)

Next week we are going to the Stardome Observatory for our end of term treat and to complete the badge, and I'll hand out their badges at the end of the evening under a planet or something suitably interesting. Brownies is so fun!
