Best Answer

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".
