As Brownies and Cubs we were encouraged to think of others and help others not just on this day but throughout the year.

The Missing Piece!
Beautiful Puzzle, taken hours to complete and then Stop. There's a piece missing. How can this have happened? The Puzzle was brand new, the bag was unopened. I have been very careful. I search the floor, check my clothing in case it has become attached to me. I look everywhere but no I cannot find it. A real disappointment. What do you do about it?
