Then all siPacks made a giant Browniering for the Opening' Ceremonies. After this we went and changed into 'our Indian costumes. Then we had our lunch and; after it the first thing my group did was go on a nature walk and it was very interesting. One of my favourite crafts was making a "doodlebug". It's an imaginary bug made on a pin with raffia and_mine was green and black. I wore it pinned -on my sock. . We sat in•a big Pow Wow ring. • Brownies .. this week so here,we go! The day began as a long line of cars (filled ' with excited, squirming little girls all dressed alike in their Brownie uniforms) wound through the `Park to a spot chosen for us,, by some very thoughtful Rangers. We ' were given a large cleared, area between, a ` forest' (perfect for the planned nature walks) and ' a very big grassy field with an • occasional clump of bushes in it (ideal for setting up a compass -testing course). "Our" area even had. a water "tap. and the Rangers had kindly provided us with a row of picnic tables , which were in constant use all day. The Revel opened with the same ceremonies that every Brownie meeting begins with only this Brownie Ring was six times larger, `•' than normal. • It certainly felt different singing the Brownie_ song In a ring with over 130 (per people. We said our Promise and sang our Brownie and 'Six songs and then with the aid of a little magic, a lot of imagination' and quite a bit of advance preparation the picnic area was soon filled with Indians and not one Brownie remained' •• to be seen.

Everyone made a� headband coiinplete with feathered plume e. and then all the starving Indians made a run for their picnic lunches!' , The afternoon was divided up into' different activities and the Indians were divided • up into different Tribes, so that smaller groups could rotate from one to another of the items on the agenda. It was definitely a busy afternoon as everyone had a turn making an Indian necklace, playing games, making a "doodlebug", taking a nature walk, and -for the older girls - trying a compass course. At this point a rest seemed like a good 'idea and every little Indian was led into a circle by our Medicine Manwhere they made a picture in different shades of green with the things they had collected on- their nature walk. This quiet time was followed by, a snack break of a drink and "some , mores" which Mrs. Newnham from Seaforth taught us how to make. We ended our Revel by learning a song from the: oSeaforth Packs, - and teaching them one of ours. This' was helped a great deal by having the words written -out so that. everyone was able to join in the singing,, right away.

Now thatlt is over, one special detail seems to stand out more than anything else - how eager and very willing people are to go out .of their way to 'help. us. My original idea was to thank everyone by name in this space but now I realize that it's impossible because the list is so long that I'm sure to omit a few unwittingly. We appreciate all the help and Thus, my Lrst Brownie Revel held at Point Farm, can be summed up as a "great success". Many thanks go out to the parents , and• friends of " the Brownies: • A• Each parent called was more than glad to •"Lend a Hand" and the results show that when parenti are given an insight into what is happening and 'planned for, they gladly donate tirpe, cars, etc. Many mothers and a teacher stayed and endured the day -long activities. The leaders from the Brownie packs were very very grateful for the extra hands. The children were kept busy with a variety, of crafts -gamest songs, compass work and nature walks. I would like at this time, on behalf of all leaders and mothers to say "thank you" to Mrs. Jack Brady,-wl o_.sP.ent.....hours on the - phone, and many more hours preparing and arranging the day. Her greatest thoughts were that no Brownie be left out or forgotten. This therefore shows true leadership. - Thank you.
