Queen's Birthday Honour for Chief Guide
Girlguiding UK’s Chief Guide, Liz Burnley, has been awarded a
CBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Liz has spent a lifetime in guiding and has held the post of
Chief Guide since 2006.
Commenting on the award, Liz said, “Receiving this honour is a
privilege which compares only with that of leading Girlguiding UK's
80,000 fantastic adult volunteers. The combined value of their work
is genuinely priceless. In our Centenary year this is a wonderful
recognition of everything that I, like every single one of them, am
striving to achieve.”
Girlguiding UK Chief Executive Denise King said, “We are all
truly proud of Liz. She has worked tirelessly for the organisation
during her five year term of office, and during this our Centenary
year she has taken us to new heights. Girlguiding UK is very
fortunate to have such an able leader to take them forward in the
service of girls and young women in this country at the start of
our second century.”
Girlguiding UK volunteers who have been awarded honours at the
same time as Liz Burnley include Margaret Postgate, from
Sedgefield, Co. Durham (MBE); Marjorie Seal from Dartford, Kent
(MBE); and Gillian Slinn from Anglesey (MBE).
