Story

We have out grown our current space. A larger Scout HQ would allow us to reduce waiting lists because we will be able to fit more young people in! We will also be able to improve the quality of things we can do in a meeting. We are planning a larger kitchen, our current one can only fit 3 or 4 people in at a time. We hope to be able to have a group of young people cooking together. We also intend to build a second smaller meeting room. This will allow us to work with smaller groups and run different activities simultaneously, whatever the weather.

About the charity

Our Scout Group is based in the village of Goudhurst in the Weald of Kent and has been providing Scouting to young people for over 100 years. In recent years the number of children wanting to join the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts has increased considerably and we have waiting lists in all sections. Our present building is a former school gymnasium of wooden construction with a steeply pitched roof and is over 100 years old. There is only one meeting room with poor acoustics. This makes it very difficult for the Leaders to provide the range of activities they would like to, especially in the winter months when the outdoor facilities cannot be used. The main benefits of the extension will be: 1) to provide an additional, smaller meeting room so the Leaders can work with small groups and run different activities simultaneously; 2) to provide a larger kitchen with room for cooking activities. The existing kitchen will be converted to much needed extra storage; 3) to allow us to free up our waiting lists and to be better placed to cope with the continuing demand by local families for their youngsters to join our Group.
