Is it possible that the main article title should be edited as well? Brownies in the US are not Girl Guides in any way, shape or form. Brownies are a level in the Girl Scouts of USA. I agree with the other posters, this article is sort of a mess.
Why is each country's variant listed (so clumsily)? If this is deemed necessary, why is the US ommitted? -- Belg4mit 05:37, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, the US Girl Scouts seem to be largely omitted from wikipedia's coverage, is this related to some copyright issue (a la Boy Scouts (whom are covered) or Scientology? -- Belg4mit 05:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
There is conflicting contributions in this article with regards to the Brownie Guide motto - and without any references to back up the contributions, it is going to be difficult to resolve. Does anyone know where we can find sources for this information? Horus Kol Talk 00:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Male members of Guiding organizations are normally called Guides or (in some rare cases Scouts. -- jergen 17:55, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Since about 1990 Brownies has been open to both girls and boys in most countries. Could someone verify/explain this statement? I know that some Brownies take both boys and girls, but do most? I was under the impression that most WAGGGS members have kept their girl-only status. And why 1990? Kingbird 20:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
There appears to be a contradiction in the wording - although it may just be a case of phraseology. The text reads "The promise was changed from 'To love God' to 'To love my God' ", but then goes on ........ "The earlier version (extant 1980) was: I promise that I will do my best, To do my duty to God............"
Shouldn't the first part read "The promise was changed from 'To do my duty to God' to 'To love my God' "?

It certainly wasn't 1980 that the promise was changed. I was a Brownie from about 1984 to 1987, and the promise was the one given here as the 'pre 1980' one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.148.254.177 ( talk) 18:06, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn’t the article mention the decision by the Canadian branch to change the name of the division?

The result of the move request was: Moved. There's consensus for move to Brownies (Scouting) with capital S. There's no clear consensus on where to redirect the former title. So in the meantime I will leave it in default redirect mode to Brownies (Scouting) until a new discussion found consensus on where it fits between Brownie or Chocolate brownie. Now editors can join the discussion here: Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2018_November_6#Brownies. ( non-admin closure) – Ammarpad ( talk) 10:42, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Brownies → Brownies (Scouting) – I highly doubt this is the WP:PTOPIC for "Brownies". Redirect the current title to Brownie (disambiguation page) after this move. feminist ( talk) 17:27, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
