The Salesian parish of St James Bootle was delighted to be able to bring together their Brownies group recently:

Our Brownies have recently enjoyed their first outdoor meeting since the lockdown. They met to get together and say goodbye to our Year 6 leavers from the summer term and to celebrate their time in the Brownies. To mark this occasion they all received special leaving gifts: a special Girlguiding badge for 2020 ("spending time apart but together at heart - conquering the covid crisis in 2020").

All the girls had a great time. There were many games and plenty of food. Hotdogs made by John and butties prepared by Marie were especially popular! The event was fully risk assessed, and all guidelines were followed. How great to meet together again!
