Many years ago - Brownie meetings would open and everyone would be made invisible (by sprinkling powdered yellow chalk on each Brownie).  At the closing of the meeting Brown Owl would blow the powder off the whole pack - thus making them visible.

One meeting a Brownie had to leave early as her Daddy was fetching her for a dentist appointment. Dad arrived, and waited in the car-while Brownie duly saluted and ran to the car - half way there she came to a skidding halt - turned and ran back to me saying "Brown Owl - please blow me visible again so that my Daddy can see me." On being "blown visible", Brownie ran off completely satisfied that she could now be seen.
