🎉 Celebrating Service in Scouting! 🎉

A huge congratulations to Emma Maddison and John Garrett, who were both recognised this week for their outstanding service to 1st Merton Park Scout Group.

Emma received The Chief Scout’s Commendation for Good Service for her years of dedication as Group Chair - and she’s now leading the Merton Park Explorer Unit!
John received his 5 Year Long Service Award for his commitment as Treasurer and Trustee, keeping the Group financially sound and always ready for adventure.

Thank you both for everything you’ve done (and continue to do) for young people in our community. 👏

We may not have been meeting over the summer but that doesn’t mean to say that our amazing volunteers have been idle!

We have had amazing work done by our heritage team in working through old pictures and documents from our group from 1960 when we became 1st Merton Park and before when we were different groups. 📜🎞️

And just today we had an amazing turnout to audit our storage shelters and see what sort of amazing equipment we have… we even got the traditional patrol tents and bungalow mess tents out which made our GLV, Jonny about as excited as a beaver at the mention of marshmallows ⛺️🌲

We cannot wait to get back to our programmes in a couple of weeks though!
