Had my last night as a full time leader at @1stMatchborough Scouts on Wednesday night before moving north to look after my mum. It's been a joy for the past 7yrs to see the YP in the group thrive. Got lots of flowers & gifts from parents & felt truly appreciated by all ❤️

@Em_D_Marshall Thank you so much for your support!

This afternoon I visited @1stMatchborough who were holding a craft fayre.

I brought some gorgeous cheese scones and won the raffle!!!

Thank you to everyone who has helped the Scouts raise funding to improve security at the hut following the recent break in.

Massive thanks to @warhammer for providing the kits for our Scout groups model making session. They've done 2 weeks so far & loved it.

The Group is potentially eligible for this funding....however, we are looking for someone (maybe a Group of individuals) to take a LEAD on this.

If you are interested, please just shout.
