A PARTY was held last night to mark the service of a Brown Owl who has been with the same Brownie pack for 30 years.
Joy Storey, from Darlington, has been working with the 3rd Houghton-le-Skerne Brownie pack for three decades.
The special party at St Andrew's Church, in Salters Lane, Darlington, was organised by members of the 18-strong pack.
The seven to ten-year-old girls spent hours preparing banners and food for the event.
Mrs Storey was also awarded a special service badge by District Commissioner Maureen Spencer-Brown to mark the occasion.
Organisers are anxious to attract more volunteer leaders for the Brownie pack, which was formed in 1958.
