Work has just started on our Scout Hut. The flat roof, which was last replaced in 1998, is being renewed and a protective covering will befitted to the walls. The aim is to keep the building in good repair for at least another 20 years, continuing to provide us with a home for our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. The cost – in excess of £50,000 – is mainly coming from the Government’s Youth Investment Fund with whom we’ve been working for the past year. The remainder is from our own funds.
The work should take between 4 and 6 weeks depending on the weather with only the outside of the building affected. It is being carried out by Rascon, a local firm, who aim to minimise any disruption to the Group, the Parish and its neighbours. Our Thursday night meetings will continue as normal (or with minimal disruption) and the car park and Parish Hall will be open as usual throughout. If anyone has any concerns or queries, please let one of the Leaders know.
