You need to buy what you and your girls and their families have decided on. The binder situation has gotten a little crazy with inserts and seperate Journeys. Try to borrow any Journeys you do and ask other Brownie troop leaders which ones the girls liked. Also try and get a feel if your district or an older troop will put on a Journey (unfortunately it seems the new setup doesn't encourage the older troops putting on events for the younger troops anymore). As far as uniforms, it used to be that only the trefoil pin was needed to be in "uniform" but I think they are requiring more now. Our girls want and can get all that stuff but I'd check if you have objections to it. Just a few somewhat jumbled thoughts on a Friday evening.
