About the charity

The current Scout Hut has served the Kennington Group for nearly 50 years. It is steeped in history and character and has some wonderful stories to tell but alas in recent years the structure has deteriorated to the point where, despite extensive 'first aid', it can no longer provide the facilities and needs of the modern Scout Group. Plans for a new Scout Hall on the same site have been drawn up and approved by Ashford Council. The cost is in excess of £250,000 and because they are a voluntary organisation the money needs to be raised by the Scouts themselves and their supporters. With only £50,000 raised so far they have a long way to go and need all the help they can get!
