Girlguiding Lincolnshire South
Our aim is to improve and encourage access to paddlesport for our members across the county. By embracing water activities, we will show girls and women how they can have this exciting hobby whilst enjoying the outdoors, improving fitness and empowering them to take the lead out on the water.
Lisa Walker is a #ShePaddles ambassador for 2023/24 and is striving to improve access to paddlesport for Girlguiding members starting with our county. She is a Guide leader and County Guide Advisor in Lincolnshire South.
If you are based in or near Lincolnshire South county and would be interested in helping to get girls out on the water, please contact us.
