The all-new scout centre’s location move is just a short hop from their old building across the Rye Leisure Centre car- park.

Joanna Thompson said: “However, the new building itself is far from an insignificant change.

The building is twice as big, and the grounds and car-park are gated and secure. This will expand the activities and opportunities we can offer the youth members.

This week brought the start of the new term, with all the scout members, from 6 year old Beaver Scouts through to 18 year old Explorer scouts now meeting at the new scout centre.

To mark the move the Scouts are holding a special Scout Fest Fun Day event at the new centre.

It takes place on Saturday October 4 from 10am - 4pm.
