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.
