Girl Guides of Canada rename its Brownies after members share experiences of racism

The Brownies branch of the Girl Guides of Canada will now be known as Embers, which will use this crest, pictured Jan. 9.

The new name, Embers, was approved overwhelmingly by members and is meant to be more inclusive. Past and present Girl Guides said the old name caused harm and even prevented or delayed their joining.
