Guide service awards
Two Christchurch women have received the Fern Award for service to the Girl Guide movement.
Miss Shirley Butterfield and Mrs Patricia Colenso are among five women who have received awards, announced by Lady Reeves, president of the New Zealand Girl Guides Association, on Saturday to commemorate Thinking Day.
Miss Butterfield was chairman of the national co-ordinating committee for the 1985 explorer camps, and has helped organise provincial camps. Mrs Colenso has been a camp trainer since 1975. She was guider-in-charge at the Nelson camp last year. Other recipients of the Fern Award are Mesdames Mary Avery, of Feilding, Helen Axtens, of Papakura, and Ann-Britt Jacobi, of Auckland. Miss Gillian Nixon, aged 18, of Wellington, has been awarded the Gilt Cross for helping to rescue a fellow ranger in a fishing accident at Greymouth last month.
