Norfolk

We have 90 miles of coastline, the Norfolk Broads, Sandringham House, a mediaeval Norwich Castle and Thetford forest as well as many market towns and villages which make up our county.

Although geographically located in Suffolk, Lowestoft is part of Girlguiding Norfolk. This 'anomaly' can be traced back to our royal connection.
Our Britannia County badge was adopted by the Guides in 1923 after permission was granted by the Royal Norfolk Regiment Commander to use the design so long as Norfolk was added underneath to differentiate it from the military version. It remains the only county badge with a military background.

A bequest from the Patteson sisters, led to a purpose built Lodge and since 2016 the grounds have also included our ARC – the Archive Resource Centre. A team of volunteers are working on many projects to make our past accessible and interesting to our members today.
