The UK's Chief Guide has praised the dedication of volunteers at a Norfolk museum.

Tracy Foster attended a weekend of celebrations at the Girlguiding Norfolk Archive Resource Centre (ARC) in Coltishall, which achieved museum status earlier this year.

Addressing the ARC volunteers on Sunday, she said: "I never cease to be amazed by the incredible guiding history that you have here."

Ms Foster acknowledged the hard work that had gone into establishing the ARC and achieving museum accreditation from Arts Council England.

She said: "If we don’t look after our heritage, we don’t remember where we have come from."

Ms Foster was one of over 120 visitors to the ARC’s Heritage Open Day weekend, which featured challenges and activities on a travel theme.

These included an Escape Tent, Blitz cooking, and marshmallow toasting, along with exhibitions of the ARC’s collections.

She recorded an interview for the ARC’s Share My Story oral collection during her visit, saying she became a Brownie at the age of seven.
