The 11th Worthing Brownies celebrated their pack's diamond jubilee with a tea party on Saturday.

The current Brownies and their families were joined at Broadwater Baptist Church Hall last Saturday by others who had previously been part of the unit or connected to it.

Hazel Ollive, Brown Owl, said: “There were various activities for the Brownies to complete throughout the afternoon to gain their Brownie Traditions badge.

“Parents also had fun giving some of them a try, as well as viewing a selection of photographs from the various decades. One guest brought along a photograph of a group of girls, thought to be the very first 11th Worthing Brownies in 1957.”

Margaret Goodyer, Girlguiding Sussex West archivist, put together a display of Brownie Guide history and was on hand to field questions and help the girls discover information they needed for their badge work.

During the afternoon, current members entertained the guests by singing the Brownie Friendship song and then everyone joined in singing Happy Birthday.

The special birthday cake was cut by Peggy Cobbold, Tawny Owl at 11th Worthing Brownies from 1973 to 2002.
