Rosebuds
The name was thought up by Agnes Baden-Powell, the founder of rosebuds and Guides, and sister to Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouts. But the girls didn't like it and changed the name to brownies in 1915. They got the name 'brownies' from a famous and well-loved book by Juliana Horatia Ewing, "The Brownies and other stories".
Lord Robert Baden-Powell started Girl Guides in 1910 when girls asked to be Boy Scouts. He felt that girls should have their own organization. Brownies were started in 1914. They were first called Rosebuds, but Lord Baden-Powell changed the name to Brownies when the girls told him they did not like the name Rosebuds.

The category of the Girl Scouts for younger girls now known as Brownies was originally called Rosebuds. The chocolate confection that became popular in North America at the beginning of the 20th Century appears to have been called "brownies" from the time they were first created.
At the beginning of Girl Guides, all levels were called Guides. In 1914, Lord Baden-Powell organized the Rosebuds as the youngest Guide group. However, the girls did not like the name, so it was changed to "Brownies" after the story, "The Brownies" by Juliana Horatia Ewing, written in 1870.
Rose Buds changed their name to Brownies to better reflect their product and branding. The new name aligns more closely with their offerings, which likely emphasize the popular dessert item, brownies. Additionally, the name change may have been a strategic decision to appeal to a broader audience and enhance marketability.
