The Brownies managed to raise enough money to sponsor some animals for 12 months. As part of the package we were given 3 soft toys of the 3 animals we sponsored. This means we now have 4 creatures that can go home with 4 Brownies who have earned them. As leaders, myself, Brown Owl and Mr Owl (otherwise known as the Church Mouse) had a discussion about what sex we thought they were and whether we should have the discussion with the Brownies. In the end we decided that maybe it was best not to go down that route and leave it to the imagination of each individual girl. Did we do the right thing? Who knows….only time will tell!
I think we made the right decision. I don’t think Brownies think too much about the sex of the animals so I think we will leave them in their innocent childhood unless they ask. Brown Owl
