SCOUTING continues to grow in popularity in the border area with a new group continuing to expand.

Hay on Wye Scout group and Radnor Explorer Unit invested new members recently in a ceremony held at Tirmynach Farm, Hay-on-Wye.

A total of 13 Cubs, 15 Scouts and 19 Explorers were invested into the Scouting family.

Hay on Wye Scout group opened in June with 19 young people, it now has 70 young people attending Cubs and Scouts with Beavers opening in 2018.

District Commissioner, Anna King said: “I am thrilled and humbled to see so many new young people enjoying the Scouting adventure.”

Scouting offers hundreds of different volunteer roles from management positions to behind the scenes roles like driving the minibus or painting and decorating.

There are lots of opportunities and different ways that you can get involved with scouting. Volunteering is flexible and it can be as often and as much as you want. Training and support is on hand to guide you through and make sure you are comfortable and confident in whatever role you choose.
