Well done to Patrick, Noah, Ryan and Frank who all received their Bronze Chief Scout award at our coffee evening last week. Our Group Scout Leader, Kevin Moynihan, came to make the presentations. The boys worked very hard to achieve this award and we are very proud of them. Also a big well done to Marie for renewing her promise, great to have her back in the Group. The coffee evening was run by the Beavers and the £140 raised sent to CAFOD. Well done Beavers!
