Our Story
We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: The 2nd Ashbourne Scouts are embarking on an adventure—one that doesn’t involve compasses or campfires, but rather hammers, nails, and a whole lot of community spirit!
Why We Need Your Help: Our beloved old scout hut has served generations of young adventurers, providing a safe haven for learning, laughter, and friendship. But let’s face it: It’s seen better days. The roof leaks when it rains (which, in England, is quite often!), and the walls have more patches than a well-loved scout uniform. We’ve outgrown our cozy space, and our group deserves better—a place where imaginations can soar, skills can be honed, and memories can be made.
The Exciting Part: Planning Permission Granted! Thanks to your support and the hard work of our dedicated leaders, we’ve secured planning permission for a brand-new scout hut. Picture it: A purpose-built sanctuary nestled in its prime position at the top of the market place, complete with sturdy walls, warm insulation, and windows that let in the sunlight just right. It’ll be more than a building; it’ll be a hub of adventure, curiosity, and growth.
How You Can Be Our Hero:
Donate: Every pound you contribute brings us closer to our goal. Whether it’s the cost of a cup of coffee or a larger sum, your donation matters.
Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends, family, and colleagues. Let them know that investing in our scouts is an investment in the future of our community.
Volunteer: If you’re handy with tools or have a green thumb, we’d love your help during the construction phase. Imagine the pride of saying, “I helped build that!”
Our Promise to You: Every brick laid, every beam raised—it’s not just about construction; it’s about building character, resilience, and a sense of belonging. Your generosity will echo through the laughter-filled halls of our new scout hut for years to come.
Join Us on This Adventure: Let’s create a legacy together. Whether you’re a scout alum, a parent, or simply someone who believes in nurturing young minds, your support matters. Together, we’ll build more than walls; we’ll build dreams.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Let’s raise the roof (literally!) and give our scouts the home they deserve.
Yours in scouting spirit
