As many of you will know, our Scout Hut next to Victory Hall has been our home since 1976, after our Group was set up in 1970. Originally an RAF canteen building dating from World War II, it has seen hundreds of local children pass under its roof – not just in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, but Rainbow and Brownie Guides too, as well as playgroups.

Unfortunately, the building has now come to the end of its life, and it is no longer economical to repair it. So it is with sadness that we must have it demolished and a new Hut built in its place. To do this, we need to raise a significant amount of money, not only for the building itself but for planning consultancy and permission, internal fixtures and fittings, groundworks etc. We hope that a new, fit-for-purpose Hut will be used not only by the Scouts and Guides, but by other comunity groups as well.
