Girl Guides announce new name for Brownies, saying old moniker caused 'harm' to racialized girls The Girl Guides of Canada has renamed its Brownies branch the “Embers.” The organization said Wednesday that the new name applies immediately to its program for girls aged seven and eight in a bid to become more inclusive and welcoming.Other branches of the Guides include Sparks for those aged five and six; Guides, who are nine to 11; Pathfinders who are 12 to 14; and Rangers who are 15 to 17.Zelmanovits also acknowledged the move addresses one “specific concern” and that there “are always more things that organizations can do.” For one thing, she described the Girl Guides of Canada “as overwhelmingly a non-racialized organization.” “It's something that the organization and the board of directors is very conscious of, and obviously (our) mission of and vision - the vision being a better world by girls - (is) we want as many girls as possible to be involved in that, and we want to have girls from every background involved in that.” Although boosting members was not the goal of the name change, Zelmanovits said they've already heard some families have signed up for the first time because of the move.“Sometimes I wish adults could take a page from that, because it is a great reaction to just say: Well, if it's causing harm, you should change it,” said Zelmanovits.https://t.co/hXSPTW5muu pic.twitter.com/BJnb1zNFne MORE NEWS FROM CANADA CTVNews.ca Top Stories BREAKING | Flight disruptions cascade across U.S. after computer outage Thousands of flight delays and cancellations rippled across the U.S. early Wednesday after computer outage led to a grounding order for all departing aircraft by the Federal Aviation Administration."
