New Scout Centre
In 2007, Scouting celebrated it's centenary. 1st Snodland Scout Group are working towards building a New Scout Centre that will fulfill the needs to provide Scouting in Snodland for another century.
The estimated budget for the New Scout Centre is £200,000
Our existing wooden-built Scout Centre started life in the early 1960's, when it was used as the workmen's canteen for the building of the M20 motorway between Aylesford and Maidstone. Over the years, the Scout Group has worked to maintain, decorate and restore the building to make it useable, but the costs involved are making the existing Scout Centre unviable to continue with.
The Progress
1st Snodland Scout Group had planning permission granted in August 2008 to build the New Scout Centre. The Scout Group is now actively fundraising to achieve the budget of £200,000. The Scout Group appears at fundraising events including the Snodland Carnival, Snodland Festival and Christmas in Snodland and many others, including providing food and refreshments at the recent Friends and Bikers Club Charity event. You'll often see us at these events with our 'Buy-a-Brick' boards, and it's one way you can support us.
We have raised £53,000 towards the New Scout Centre.
If you have an idea to aide with our fundraising towards the New Scout Centre, an event which we can support, or you have a way to support us, then please contact us.
