On the 22nd June 2025 Tarvin Brownies will have been going strong for Fifty years.
To celebrate we have set up a geocaching trail. We have made it as easy as possible so that the Brownies and Guides will be able to find the caches without too much trouble. There will be a number of straight forward jigidis, easy quizzes and in some cases we will just tell you where the cache is. None of the caches are at the posted co-ordinates
Most of the caches are on quiet roads or paths, although there is a busier section of road in places
Each Brownie is assigned to a six when they join a unit. Traditionally each six would contain 6 Brownies and would be led by a 'Sixer' and helped by a 'Seconder' These are usually older Brownies who will help the younger, newer Brownies.
The original sixes were all named after 'Little People' or fairy folk and were inspired by the book 'The Brownies'. Each six had a little song which would have been sung during the start of each meeting.
Elf. This is what we do as Elves, Think of others, not ourselves
Fairy. We're the Fairies glad and gay, Helping others every day.
Gnome Here you see the laughing Gnomes, Helping mother in our homes
All of the songs include some way of helping people which is in keeping with the old Brownie motto.
If the Brownie motto was 'Be Prepared' the cache is at N 53 10.846 W 002 45.886
If the Brownie motto was 'Lend A Hand' the cache is at N 53 10.954 W 002 45.348
