Girl Guides of Canada to rename Brownies, claiming it has caused personal harm to people of color

On Tuesday, Girl Guides of Canada announced that it would be renaming the "Brownies," a label given to their seven to eight-year-olds members, claiming it had caused "personal harm" to people of colour.

The organization suggested it was "an important and necessary step to creating an inclusive and equitable space where every racialized girl in Canada feels like they belong and are welcomed in Guiding."

Zelmanovits went on to state that, "updating this branch name is not only the right thing to do, it is necessary to make Girl Guides a place where racialized girls feel safe, welcome and included.”

The organization noted that a new name will be revealed in January 2023, and will take effect in September. No possible replacements have been publicly announced, however, according to the press release the decision is being made with the help of "racialized members" past and present, as well as other members, and the community.

Look for a change of name for the Girl Guides itself in the near future, beacuse it changed its rules in 2015 to admit boys who think they’re girls, and adopted a gender-neutral uniform at the same time.
