Essential Feature Girlguiding Culcheth District Girlguiding Culcheth District are delighted that Pam Ogunlana from Challenge Expeditions has agreed to be their Ambassador. Pam first became involved with the District when helping Senior Section members with their Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. At the recent DofE Presentation Evening, Pam was presented with a badge and certificate to mark her appointment by Sara Isles, District Commissioner and commented “Not only was I honoured to become an Ambassador for Girlguiding Culcheth District but very proud. This will be the fourth season working with the Guides and they consistently work hard in everything they set out to achieve. Their bright bubbly attitudes never cease to amaze me and they’re an absolute credit to their leaders and Girlguiding. I very much look forward to becoming more involved in activities and offering support in the future.” 28 Hand on Heart Charity The Hand on Heart charity recently held a First Aid Training for 30 Guides & Scouts from Culcheth. Fifteen members from each organisation attended the Training Course which covered aspects of emergency first aid, CPR and the use of a defibrillator. The members of Girlguiding Culcheth District who attended were from the 3 Guide Units who hold weekly Meetings in the village. All the Guides gained their First Aid badge and are now trained to use the defibrillators that are located in the halls where their Guide Meetings are held.
