Brownies brush their way into the record books at Temple Newsam
Brownies from across Yorkshire have helped set a new Yorkshire record for the most amount of Brownies and Brownie Guiders all brushing their teeth for the recommended time of two minutes. Click here for more details.
Over 300 Brownies took part in The LHF Big Brownie Brushathon at Temple Newsam.
Raman Sankaran, member services director at LHF Healthplan, said: "The event was a fun way to raise awareness of the importance of regular teeth cleaning. It was a fantastic sight, over 300 Brownies all brushing their teeth at the same time, the brushathon drew quite a crowd!
Chief executive at the British Dental Health Foundation, Doctor Nigel Carter said: "This was an excellent event. Brushing twice-a-day with fluoride toothpaste is vital if you are to maintain good oral health – and this was a great way to remind people of its importance.
"I am delighted that the Brownies set a new Yorkshire record and, not only that, they have raised awareness of the importance of brushing for two minutes - everyone involved should be very proud of their achievements!"
The day also included performances from The High School Musical and a dance master class courtesy of Theatre Train, Brownie sing song, face painting and a quiz.
The LHF Big Brownie Brushathon was attended by more than 500 people including 300 Brownies and Brownie Guiders, parents and two county commissioners of West Yorkshire.
