Friends of Patteson Lodge
The Friends of Patteson Lodge is a group of individuals who participate in organising fundraising events to provide the centre and campsite with all the extras our budget does not cover. We encourage ALL Girlguiding Norfolk units, Districts, and Divisions to join.
2027 membership costs £10.00 per annum for individuals and £15.00 for groups and is open to everyone.
Past Purchases made by The Friends:
