Congratulations
This session the girls did the Healthy Heart badge and the Designer Badge, both of these badges were newly introduced in January so it is the first time any of the girls have completed them.
To complete the Healthy Heart badge the girls:-
- designed healthy food posters
- completed exercise charts
- devised new games to keep brownies fit
- and wrote anti-smoking poems.
They also compiled a healthy lunch cook book. At the end of it all they did a sponsored walk round Lanark Loch with parents and friends.

If you think smokings cool
You're really just a fool
Your lungs go black
Like a big coal sack
So please don't smoke
You'll just choke
And that's not a joke!
Smoking is not cool
If you do, you're a big bad fool
You'll end up choking
And we're not joking
So don't smoke - Yo!
Smoking isn't cool
So Please
Don't do it in school
Smoking is bad
It won't make you glad
To do such a thing in school
You must be a fool
To think its cool
Because you are just full
Of yourself!
Smoking gets you choking
We are not joking
People think its cool
But it is really drool
And it makes you a fool
Smoking gets you choking
We are not choking!
Please don't smoke, its bad for you
Its such a dangerous thing to do
You wouldn't want to harm yourself
Or do things that will spoil your health
Your hair and your clothes will smell of smoke
You'll cough and cough until you choke
Your teeth and fingers will turn yellow
You're never gonna get a fellow
Don't kid yourself. It isn't cool
Yours simply being a silly fool
If someone tells you "Have a go"
Tell them "NO!" and get up and go
Do not smoke
It's no joke
So not smoke
You could choke
So not smoke
It makes me sad
Do not smoke
It is bad!
If you smoke
You think you're cool
But you're really
Just a fool
Cos if you smoke
You could get cancer
This could stop you
Being a dancer
So if you smoke
Please stop smoking
Do it now
I'm not joking!
For the Designer badge the girls had to:-
- design a new Brownie badge
- design a gadget for the future
- and find out about a famous designer and bring in information about them.
They also designed posters to advertise Brownies and finally they all designed a t-shirt. We held a mini fashion show for all the parents and the girls modelled the t-shirts which they had all made and which went really well. You can see photos of this in our Gallery click here to take a look.

Eight new Brownies completed their "Welcome to Brownies" challenge and made their promise in September 2008. We had a High School Musical theme and all the girls made cheerleader pom poms.
Each of the new Brownies was presented with their yellow Promise Badge and a special yellow Brownie Box containing their Brownie Adventure Book and Brownie Badge Book. They were also given a certificate to mark their Brownie Birthday.
We would like to give a special big welcome and congratulations to all our new Brownies.
