Both of Pencaitland’s Brownie packs are under the threat of closure due to a lack of adult volunteers to keep them going.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Could<\/a>
Could you spare a few hours of your time to ensure that Brownies survives in Pencaitland?<\/figcaption><\/figure>Last year, after a ten year hiatus, the Scouts returned to Pencaitland thanks to the efforts of local volunteers keen to revive a long tradition of Cub and Beaver packs in the community. The response to its return has been excellent with a number of mums, dads and other adult volunteers coming forward to make the Scouts revival a real success story.<\/p>\n

But now a similar threat hangs over both the 1st and 2nd Pencaitland Brownies. By Christmas, if adult volunteers don’t come forward to assist in the running of the Brownie packs they will shut up shop, leaving the village and surrounding area without a place for girls to go, to learn a range of invaluabe social and life skills outside of a school and home environment.<\/p>\n

Can you make a difference?<\/strong><\/H3><\/p>\n
