Our tale begins with a simple task, to fetch a pencil from the Brownie cupboard: not much to ask.
A dusty wooden cupboard of crafting treasures galore, with paper, glue, scissors, and plenty more. A bewildering array, how does it all fit? You’re about to find out but you’ll need the right kit!
All is not as it appears, so let’s explore, the mystical realm behind the Brownie cupboard door…
Brownies stepped forth, for a mystical quest and an extraordinary journey in a massive outdoor bushcraft adventure at Mystole near Canterbury.
