HistoryHistoryHistoryHistoryBrownilympics began in Simi Valley in 1984 under the leadership of Rick Hand and a small group of parents who wanted to create a new event for that area's girl scouts, specifically the Brownies.

Having the philosophy that sports can enhance a young persons self worth and the fact that the Olympics were coming to Los Angeles that year, it would be fun to create an Olympic style sports day for the girls. That year 23 troops, comprised of 245 girls, and a countless number of mothers and fathers began Brownilympics. It was a huge success .

Every girl went home with a gold medal, recognizing her as a special individual.
