Brownie Girl Scout Activity/Ceremony - The Brownie Story (with actions)

Word Sound Motion
Girls - giggle hands in front of mouth
Granny - oh, my! both hand slap knees
Brownies - Be Prepared! stand and make the Girl Scout Sign
House - come in! motion with right hand to come in
Owl - whoo-whoo bend arms and flap hands
Forest - moan and sway with arms up and fingers moving

Story
Once upon a time, there were two little girls who lived in England with their granny and their father. The girls played all day while the granny and father had to work very hard. One day granny told the girls about the Brownies, who used to do lots of things to help around the house. They are gone now, she said, but we were always so much happier when they helped. The girls wanted to know where the Brownies had gone and how to get them to come back. Granny said, "only the wise old owl knows!"
That night, when everyone else was asleep, one of the girls ran out of the house into the magic forest. There she found the wise old owl. "Please", said the girl, "where can I find the Brownies to come and live with us? The owl said, "I know where two live – right in your house!" She was very surprised! Tell me how to find them, she begged. He told her to go to the pond in the magic forest, turn around three times and say, "twist me and turn me and show me the elf… I looked in the water and saw…….!" The wise old owl said, "When you finish the rhyme, you will see the Brownie in the magic pond."

The girl went to the pond in the magic forest and did as she had been told. She went back to the forest and found the wise old owl and said, "something must be wrong, I did all you told me to do and I only saw myself! And I am not a Brownie!" " Are you sure?" said the owl. To be a Brownie, you must be ready to help those around you, make friends wherever you can, and every day try to discover something new. "I'd like to be a Brownie", said the girl. Then go home and try, the wise old owl said kindly. He touched her hand with his feathers, and suddenly she was back in her house, in her own bed.
Quietly, she woke up her sister, told her all that had happened. Together the girls tip-toed into the kitchen and began to clean the house. In the morning, when granny and father saw the house, they wanted to know what had happened. "Who did this?" said granny and father! The girls danced around and shouted, "it's the Brownies!" And from that day on, theirs was a very happy house near the forest, all because of the Brownies!

Brownie Story Play
Scene I (at home)
Grandma: (speaking to children) - Oh, me, Oh, my. I've worked so hard to clean this house all day. I think that you should help a bit, but all you do is play.

Father: I've chopped the wood and swept the walk, the cows and pigs are fed. My poor old back is aching and my legs feel like they're dead!

Grandma: Some folks I know had all the luck, a brownie used to come and wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and pick up every crumb.

Father: I wish we had a brownie so that we could rest a bit. Where could we find one? OH the wise old owl that's it!

Scene II (the wood)
Mary: Oh! Here's the tree in which the owl has built his little nest. I hope that he'll be wise and not say no to my request. Oh, Mr. Owl, please help me! For you're so very wise, I want to find some brownies to take home as a surprise. I play all day and do not help at home a little bit. I haven't any time to spare from play, I must admit.

Owl: To-whit, to-whoo, there was no reason that you should have to roam. For there are brownies living with your Grandma in your home.

Mary: How can that be? Why they have never shown themselves at all! Please tell me - are they fat or thin, and are they short or tall? Please tell me how to find them, I will do just what you say. If I could help my Grandma, I would thank you every day.

Owl: Go to the lake-the moon is bright, and turn three times around then gaze into the pool and there a brownie will be found. But first you say some magic words before you start to look and there they are - you'll find them written in that open book.

Mary: Twist me and turn me, And show me the elf, I looked in the mirror and saw _____.

Owl: To-whit, to-whoo, I'm really such a very wise old bird, do what I've told you, then you'll find the missing magic word!

Scene III (another part of the wood)
Mary: Well, here I am - I'll say the verse while looking in the pool, and I shall see the brownie gazing up through the waters cool. "Twist me and turn me and show me the elf, I looked in the water and saw MYSELF".

Activity: Shoe Scramble
Instructions: Divide the girls into two teams. All girls remove their shoes and place them in a pile in the center of the floor. At the signal, all the girls try to find their shoes. The first team that has their own shoes on, laced and tied, wins.
