FIFTEEN years after closing due to a lack of leaders and falling demand for places, the 7th Culcheth Brownies are to re-open.
The unit had to close in 1996 – but Girl Guiding is growing in popularity in Culcheth and, thanks to an increase in the number of adult volunteers, it is able to re-open in September.
There will then be three Rainbow Units, four Brownie Units, two Guide Units and a Senior Section Unit in Culcheth.
Every week, more than 200 girls will be enjoying all that Girlguiding has to offer.
Rainbows cater for girls aged 5-7 years, Brownies are for girls aged 7-10, Guides cater for those aged 10-14 and the Senior Section is for girls aged 14-plus who are interested in Leadership roles or possibly the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Queens Guide and International opportunities.
Anyone with a daughter who would be interested in joining any of these units should contact Sara Isles (District Commissioner) on 01925 766057 or via email [email protected] to find out more.
