As there was a lot of response to my old books, I thought I would share some more of my childhood memories with you. So first, the cetificate that I was given when I officially became a Brownie. I had been attending the meetings for some time, as my sister was already in the pack, and Brown Owl was the sister of my elocution teacher, so they let me be an unofficial Brownie until I was old enough to join officially!
I found this photo of me in my Brownie uniform. Our tie was a thing of wonder - it was actually a large triangle, with which I could have put your broken arm in a sling, or with the addition of two sticks put your broken leg in a splint. But best of all, I could have used it to drag your unconscious body from a burning building. I don't quite know how to describe the method, as it sounds a bit "50 Shades of Grey", but basically it involved lying you on your back, tying your hands together and looping your tied hands round my neck. I would then kneel astide you and crawl forward, dragging you with me. This may have worked dragging a fellow small Brownie, but I doubt I could drag a large adult that way!
