| Brownie Health Rules |
| Sandra's guide pages |
| As referred to in the new (2003) brownie traditions interest badge: "Find out what the Brownie fitness exercise and Brownie health rules were. Do them both for a week." The health rules were: Only feed on wholesome fare; Through your nostrils breathe fresh air; Clean yourself inside and out; Twist and bend and run about. It could be sung to the Brownie tune. This can be found in the Brownie Handbook which was first published in 1920, which gives the rhyme and also goes into a lot more detail over health matters, including the importance of "a daily clear out" and making a toothbrush from a stick if you can't afford to buy one! The same rhyme is in the "new" Brownie Handbook first published in 1961. |
