To get Peggy used to travelling, she has been heading round the UK meeting other Brownies and Guides. This weekend, Peggy visited Lizz in High Wycombe! She had a busy week which included going for a walk as the sun set, going to a gig (aptly called Scouting for Girls - maybe it should have been renamed scouting for ducks?) and attending Brownie Pack Holiday where she became the protector of seven tearful little girls.
Pack Holiday was definitely the highlight of her week as she was very much loved by the Brownies and many of them were asking for hugs with Peggy and asking where she was! I'm sure all of the Brownie Parents will be quite surprised when they recieve a DVD with photos and videos of the weekend to find it is dominated by pictures of a duck! But then I think even the pack holiday assessor was quite surprised in February when she found at that a group of 16-26 year olds had a soft toy duck as their mascot!
On saturday evening all of the Brownies were rather tearful after a rather tiring day. After sharing a few ghost stories and a suspected sighting of what they thought was a rat, things became a little too much for the little Brownies. Peggy came to the rescue though! She was placed in the centre of the bedroom with Brownie bear and the Brownies were told that if anything came into their bedroom than they would have to get through Peggy first. And it worked! Soon all of the Brownies had fallen asleep and it was definatly Lizz's favourite moments when one of her youngest Brownies came up to her in the morning and told her that Peggy had scared of all the monsters. GO Peggy!
