Penicuik Brownies cooked up a pretty penny
Fund-raising began last Christmas with a Nativity play and festive sale. The Brownies provided mulled wine and mince pies to encourage their parents to cough up nearly £150.
Brownies of all ages have been keen to step in and one Brownie’s granny, a former Guider, made and sold a word quiz to bring the total to £300. She even kept the Brownie promise to do a good turn every day — taking the quiz on her holiday cruise up the Rhine to sell to other passengers.
The 24-strong pack’s most spectacular effort was producing a Brownie recipe book. Each Brownie contributed their own favourite recipe — giving a variety of dishes from chocolate button cake to kaffir lime mussels with lemon grass.
The Brownies even tapped into their artistic side to design an eye-catching rainbow cover for the book. |
