Guides earn cit by Heather McCrae To celebrate Thinking Day the Fourth Port Perry Brownie Pack entertained the congregation of the Scugog Island Church with the singing of Kim Bay Ya. A special enrolment ceremony was held in February for two new Brownies of this energetic group of girls. Namely Melissa Bellar and Jen- nifer Van Hoof. Welcome to the pack, Melissa and Jennifer. Joy McKay of Sunderland delighted the girls with her visit on March 19, at the Island Hall. Joy taught the Signaller badge. The purpose of this badge is to encourage the Brownie to learn a new method of communication. They must know the alphabet in Braille, Semaphore, Morse Code or Finger Spelling. Joy was a real hit with the girls. She taught them the alphabet in sign language and the Brownie's motto "Lend A Hand" along with the words "Love" and "Peace." The Third Port Perry Brownies sent Thinking Day cards to their friends in England. Bunny Rowland visited the girls in late February and talked about the World Friendship Badge. Bunny had been Brown Owl of this pack for ten years. Welcome back, Bunny! The First Port Perry Guides were taught the First Aid Badge by Mr. Jim Hyndman, a St. John's First Aid Instructor. On February 19, the girls enjoyed an International Dinner, cooked by themselves, and the delicious menu was lasagne from Italy, tri- fle from the United Kingdom and caesar salad from the United States. On February 26, the Con- stable Peter Wraight of Durham Regional Police spoke to the girls about drugs and taught the girls the Law Awareness badge.
