Cllr Susan Quinn was pleased to be able to pop along to one of the regular Scout meetings last week.

In early summer, as we described here fully previously, disaster nearly struck this Scout Group when an arsonist targeted their scout hut and caused a great deal of damage.

The timing was particularly difficult because they were at the final stages of planning their summer activities including attending scout camps.

By working closely with your local councillors and helped by other local groups and businesses, disaster was turned to triumph.

Replacing lost equipment costs money and Cllr Sue Quinn presented the group a cheque for £900 to cover this cost.

As Cllr Quinn said “The 413th Scouts can now carry on the great work they do week in and week out. I am pleased we were able to help here. As local Councillors we help many Droylsden Groups carry out their core activities. The voluntary sector in Droylsden is healthy and successful and I am pleased that together we can help voluntary groups in our Town.”
