I did when I was in primary school. I was one of the first Brownies in our pack to have the 'new' uniform - collotes, jumper, sash and baseball cap. I couldn't wait to show it off! That would have been the early 90's I think.

I seem to remember having a session on this while I was at Brownies and it has something to do with the Brownie promise, 'to love my God, to serve my Queen and my country...' Whichever country the pack belongs to, they celebrate the saint's day of the country, hence different countries wearing uniform on different days. As St eorge is the Patron Saint of England and Brownies serve England, they celebrate by wearing their uniform.

Sorry if this is a bit hazy - it was over 15 years ago I learnt it!

It was Thinkers' Day - 22nd February sticks in my mind for no reason - probably different in Scotland. I was an Elf!

I remember going in my uniform I was an pixie.

My mum was a brown owl she only gave up a few years ago because she was 65 and they don't think people that age should be careing for children. She was and still is a registered childminder and still helps out at the brownie pack
