context_page_description: Brownies are the section in the Girl Guides organization for girls aged seven years old to ten years old. Exact age limits are slightly different in each organization.
context_section_description: In the United Kingdom, the Brownie Promise is:
  I promise that I will do my best:
  To be true to myself and develop my beliefs,
  To serve the Queen and my community,
  To help other people
  and
  To keep the Brownie Guide Law.
  After a wide public consultation in spring 2013, the promise wording was changed for all sections.
  The Brownie promise before September 2013 was:
  I promise that I will do my best:
  To love my God,
  To serve The Queen and my country
  To help other people,
  And to keep the Brownie Guide Law.
  The Brownie Guide Law is:
  A Brownie Guide thinks of others before herself and does a good turn every day.
  The Brownie Guide Motto used to be 'Lend a hand' (LAH). With the introduction of the new programme in the United Kingdom, the motto was dropped for Brownies.
