About this cause

Budleigh Salterton Brownies run 2 units currently serving 60 girls age between 7 & 11 yrs old who live in the local area. We are part of Girl-Guiding UK and provide a wide range of new experiences and adventures based on the Guiding programme. The programme is designed to challenge girls pushing them beyond their comfort zones in a sensitive and positive way. Through fun, friendship, challenge and adventure we empower girls to find their voice, inspiring them to discover the best in themselves and to make a positive difference in their community. Budleigh Brownies is important in our area as it draws together girls from 5 local schools some of which are very small, giving them the opportunity to widen their friendship groups and preparing them for the leap to our large secondary schools.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Trips away from home & family are especially important because they provide an environment where girls can learn to be Independence & foster self-reliance. Girls are expected to care for their own kit, help make meals, wash up & even clean the loos. Brownies helps build resilience, it’s a safe place to win or lose, succeed or fail thus supporting young people in their personal development.
