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.

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!
