Burnham-On-Sea Olympic torch bearer visits Brent Knoll Brownies

A Burnham-On-Sea Olympic torch bearer has made a special visit to a group of local Brownies this week.

Jason Vickers delighted Brent Knoll Brownies when he showed them his Olympic Torch and told them all about his exprience of carrying the torch and how the torch was made.

This visit concluded a term of activities for the Brownies, who have been working towards the 'On your marks' Girl Guiding badge.

To gain this badge the Brownies have made their own Olympic rings, had a go at being sports reporters and experienced challenges like putting up a tent using just one arm or blindfolded to experience what it might be like to be a Paralympian.
