When 1st Badenbridge Brownies decide to hold a dance event to raise awareness for a local children''s charity, it''s Grace''s moment to shine. She''s planning a special dance routine which will be performed in different locations around Badenbridge - but can all the girls learn the steps in time?

It''s the girls first day at Brownies, and they''re all feeling nervous and excited. But their worries are soon forgotten as there''s so much to do - arts and crafts, singing songs, playing games and making new friends. And it''s not long before they must start preparing for their Promise Celebration - but first they need to decide what kind of celebration to have...

It''s time for the Brownies'' Annual Show and Sleepover and the girls are super-excited! First they''re going to put on a show for their parents and friends, and then they''re going to sleep out in the Brownie hall. The girls get busy with practising their performances, but on the night of the show, things don''t quite go to plan.

It''s Brownie thinking day, and the girls are thinking up ways to celebrate. Katie and her friends have a brilliant idea for making African arts and crafts for a bring-and-buy sale.

Charlie, Katie, Grace, Jamila and Ellie are five best friends and they''ve just joined the Brownies. Katie and Grace have brought a friend to Brownies - their cousin, Meggie, from Australia. Meggie is a Brownie, too, and she tells them all about her brownie pack.
