Family and friends were invited to join the celebration.Deborah Phillips, Chair of the County’s Award Committee said, ‘Our County wanted to show their appreciation, and thank the volunteers for their time, loyalty and dedication.’Wendy Colson, County Commissioner presented them with a County certificate. She commented, ‘although each lady has already received their special Girlguiding badges, the County wanted to also thank them for the encouragement and enthusiasm shown to so many girls during their 50 years of volunteering. It is because of them, many of our young people have taken on new challenges and had many incredible opportunities but most importantly they made sure they had fun.
