In June
the Monday 32nd St Matthew’s Rainbows and Brownies
worked for their Diamond Jubilee Challenge Badge, one of
the Clauses being to make, and send, a card to the
Queen, which we did.
The finished card measured 76 x 45.5 cm (30 x 18 inches)
and had a collage Union Jack on the front; the girls had
made pictures to go inside and all the girls and leaders
signed it.
The Rainbows completed a Clause by making Queen peg
dollies which could be used as either welly pegs or book
marks – the girls with Barn Owl’s help made an extra
special
one with sparkly shoes and complete with shiny crown to
send.
On 17 August Brown Owl received an envelope addressed to
32nd St Matthew's Rainbows and Brownies – inside was
a Buckingham Palace folder containing a letter on Balmoral
Castle headed notepaper, thanking the girls for the card
and especially the Rainbows for the peg dolly. Can we
say we are now ‘By Royal Appointment, purveyors of welly
pegs to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’? No doubt her
boots at Balmoral are clipped together with our gift!
