Brownies celebrate 100 years

Three thousand girl guides from across the country will converge at Dublin Zoo this morning to celebrate 100 years.

Brownies, a branch of the Irish Girls Guides, started in Co Kildare in 1914 and is a club where young girls learn life skills and endure various challenges.

On their centenary Brownies are hopeful that the core values of guiding will still exist in another 100 years.
