June Paterson-Brown, née Garden CVO CBE (8 February 1932 – 6 December 2009) was a Scottish medical doctor, early family planning advocate, Chief Commissioner of the Girl Guides Association, and the first female Lord Lieutenant in Scotland.
Because family planning was a sensitive topic at the time, she gave talks "in virtual darkness with one light illuminating the blackboard," which helped to provide attendees a degree of anonymity.
She continued providing support and guidance related to family planning for years, and was publicly praised for her work assisting "generations of expectant mothers.
"[3] In 1998, she was appointed to succeed the Duke of Buccleuch as the first female Lord Lieutenant in Scotland, serving as the Queen's representative for Roxburgh, Ettick and Lauderdale.
She was gracious, keenly interested in taking the movement forward and equally at ease with the shyest Brownie or boldest leader.”[6] In 1989, she was awarded for her exceptional 30 years of service to the Girl Guides with the Silver Fish, the organisation's highest honour.
