Alexandria Scout Hall at 130 Henderson Road is a local success story. After 20 years of being vacant it was reopened by volunteers in 2016 and now houses a thriving Scout group and is available as a community resource. It has been the venue for birthday parties, board game marathons and even a wedding.
Venturer Scouts recently celebrated the 65th birthday of the hall with a cake decorated with tents and a campfire.
As part of the 65th birthday celebrations the Venturers are launching a public fundraising appeal to help with essential repairs to the hall.
“We are confident that, with the support of our local community, businesses and organisations, we will be able to keep the hall in use for the next 65 years,” said chairman Steven Harris and group leader Sandra (Sam) Kemp.
