Our volunteers
The adults who run a Brownie Pack are called Leaders. They are unpaid volunteers who have completed Girlguiding UK training. They are usually helped by a team of other young women or adults, such as:
- a Unit Helper, who is an adult who regularly helps at our meetingsother
- adult helpers who are willing to help occasionally, these are usually parents of Brownies in our Pack
- a local Guide aged 11 years or over
- a Young Leader aged 14 years or over
- a young woman who is working towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award, these are usually ex-Brownies or Rangers
Girlguiding recommends at least one adult for every eight girls. 2nd Sedgefield Brownies generally has 25-30 Brownies and a regular team of 6 leaders/unit helpers and a Young Leader.
All our leaders follow the Code of Conduct.
