The Brownie Guide Handbook is a book on how to be a Brownie, and tells of their ways, activities, ventures and challenges before they are old enough to become Girl Guides.
"Brownies" are a group/organisation were started for little sisters of Girl Guides by Lord Baden-Powell in the early 1900's.
Brownies get to do fun activites and earn badges for things like artist and first aid. They also make a promise that they will do their best to live with friendship, sharing and lending a hand and and try to stop things like hunger, greed and loneliness.

Typically, Brownies are aged between 7-10, and are part of the largest organisation for girls and young women in the uk, which has around 600,000 members. They have sleepovers and they make heaps of friends and have lots of fun!
