I'm sure I've read books where characters join or are in the Brownies, but not as the main thrust of the story- I can't remember which books though!- any ideas?<br /><br />I've found a few links, but I think many of these may be set in the USA, so may not be what your remembering!:<br /><br />http://www.vintagegirlscout.com/libfiction1.html<br /><br />http://www.vintagegirlscout.com/libfiction2.html<br /><br />http://www.series-books.com/mildredwirt/browniescouts.html<br /><br />http://www.series-books.com/mildredwirt/girlscouts.html<br /><br /><br />There's some fiction listed on this link, especially on the last two pages- as well as Verily Anderson there's Pamela Sykes and Brenda May:<br /><br />https://www.girlguideswa.org.au/library/manuals/sally_carlton_library/library_catalogue_arts.pdf<br /><br />Amazon also have a few by Katherine Keene Galt.<br /><br /><br />and some modern ones!:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Corries-Secret-Pal-Here-Brownies/dp/0448401606<br /><br />http://clubs-kids.scholastic.co.uk/products/83536<br /><br />I hope some of these are helpful!<br /><br />Kate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
