9th Orpington Brownies and 9th Orpington Guides meet in the church hall on Wednesday evenings during term time.

All follow a programme which might include games, crafts, international activities, community service, outings and outdoor activities, and residential trips. The emphasis is on fun, friendship and supporting girls and young women to develop into confident and well-rounded individuals. Five times a year the girls are invited to join the Sunday morning congregation at All Saints for a joint Family Eucharist and Parade Service. The Guiding Promise is at the heart of everything we do, and girls are encouraged to explore what the Promise means to them. If and when they wish to do so they can make their Promise in a special ceremony.
