1st Peebles Brownies

@mackek0704 Brown Owl in Peebles has one of these too! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎁🎉🎅🤶

The Owls received their #GirlguidingScotFreshStart challenge badges last week. This has been a useful challenge for us: it showed us where our strengths land gave us a few pointers in areas where we can continue to improve. @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding @BordersCounty

@Girlguiding Sure - we had a great time!

@1stPeebles Love this! Could we please feature this fab photo on the Girlguiding social channels? 💙

We LOVED our visit to Peebles Fire Station tonight as part of looking at jobs. Lots now want to join the fire service - thank Murray and the team, we are so lucky to have such a dedicated group of firefighters! @fire_scot @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

Snowy Owl received her 5 year service award tonight. It was a surprise! We are very proud of her - especially as she has had 2 little ones in that time and is juggling her young family with work and Brownies too. Well done Snowy! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding @BordersCounty

More of our video cut from the silver band. It was lovely to hear them together and to share my along. After they left we had a rehearsal of our own for next week’s Carol singing at Dovecot. @PeeblesSilver @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

We had a lovely visit tonight from 4 members of our local silver band. They showed us their instruments and let us have a go too. They have a concert on Friday. It led to a discussion about the Performing badge. @PeeblesSilver @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

Brown Owl has spent some of this morning decorating our tree for the Parish Church tree festival. Our theme is our Sixes: Kelpies, Gnomes, Elves and Pixies. Also setting up were the Rainbows and Guides. Christmas is here! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding @BordersCounty

35 tins of fruit have been collected for Peebles Youth Trust by the pack. These will form part of the Christmas hampers to be distributed next month. @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

We had a lovely evening with Mr David Mundell, hearing about parliament and his very busy schedule. We had tea and biscuits, he gave advice to our young leaders for some school work and learned the Giant’s House game! @UKParliament @DavidMundellDCT @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

@JoannaLea9 @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding Aw thank you! That’s a lot to live up to! We loved all your rainbow decorations - so colourful

@1stPeebles @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding Can’t wait to see you’re tree this year ! Last years was spectacular !

We’ve started making our decorations for the Christmas tree we will decorate for the tree festival to be held in the Parish Church next month. Great work girls!' @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

We missed our Kingsland girls tonight as their school had a Halloween party. We had our own and enjoyed ‘dooking’ for apples, reaching for party rings and laces, making masks, balloon animals, a cat walk…all in all a relaxed evening! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

Our last night - we walked the 3 bridges, watched the sunset, saw the heron on the river Tweed, enjoyed listening to the dusk chorus and the bats flying around. We ended with the Promise made by our 7 new girls by candlelight (battery only). @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

This afternoon we came together with the rest of our district to watch #LittleMermaid @EastgateTheatre here in Peebles. Lovely to see everyone. Huge thank you to Jo #1stPeeblesRainbows for organising. @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

On Monday we had a visit from Emma @ForestryLS. She told us all about her job as a Seasonal Ranger and showed us the equipment she needs. She told us about other jobs, had a quiz and a game up her sleeve and answered sooo many questions! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

Last weekend we had a fantastic day @AbbotsfordScott to work on ourSir Walter Scott Challenge! #witchcorner, geocaching, bingo around the House and clay gargoyles and grotesques! What a fab day! @Girlguiding @GirlguidingScot

To catch up - a couple of weeks ago we visited #PeeblesHydro and had a tour, an outdoor game, an indoor sweet hunt and lots of fun. All in the name of Skills for my Future! Thank you Colin for your hospitality! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

Cookie Owl has been busy in the kitchen baking for Brown Owl and the rest of the Guiding medal ceremonies flag team @CyclingWorlds @GlentressForest. Great team work and such a supportive gesture! Thanks Cookie Owl! @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding

The Owls went on an adventure today - to Abbotsford House for a fact finding visit before our pack trip in September to complete our Sir Walter Scott Challenge Badge. It was very wet but we loved it! @AbbotsfordScott @GirlguidingScot @Girlguiding
