Brown Owl
Well, I decided to take the plunge last night and went over the the District meeting for the West Oxford district. I seem to have agreed to run a Brownie pack on Abingdon road which was othewise about to close! I'll get lots of help/support while I'm training for my warrent, but still, it's a bit scary as well as exciting. I'm going to meet the parents in a week or so and then I guess we'll start term - yikes! I think I'm going to have to start writing down all the bits of games and songs I remember to do with them. Aparently, the owl names are not required these days, but I quite like the idea of being Brown Owl.

Are you planning to come to the MCR this time?

The leadership qualification is all about showing you can do particular things so keep records eg. attending a district meeting covers a clause.
Hold a parents' meeting if you get the chance - you don't really want to do *all* the work yourself and for safety reasons you should aim to have more than one adult at meetings, so you probably want to set up a rota for parents to help.
The important thing to remember with Guide names is that Brownies and Rainbows are likely to shout 'Brown Owl' across the supermarket - so pick a name you're not going to mind being shouted at you like that - I'm Starling, though most of the Guides call me Karen. Also make sure the girls and their parents know what your real name is - particularly important when you get round to going to District events where there'll be lots of Brown Owls.
Poke me if you've got any questions!
