Recovering " Lost Ground" at Kings Somborne

There have been more developments since this blog post.

Claire Walls, Retail Business Manager at The Southern Co-operative’s Stockbridge store and her team of colleagues were back at the Kings Somborne Scout HQ the other day.

They found an area of overgrown waste ground between the shed and the Southern boundary of the site which the current Scout leaders didn’t know was there.

So on Wednesday 25^th September Claire, Fiona, Jack and Eliot joined Cub leader Janice,  John (District Chairman) with the aim of recovering the “lost” ground. It took most of the day to clear the nettles, brambles and bushes but in the end, as you can see from the photograph, a significant area of the site was recovered. 

 

Plans for new toilets and kitchen are in hand and fundraising for this project will start in the Autumn.
 

At the moment the Cubs and Beavers are improving the sites facilities for wildlife by creating a bugs hotel and compost heap. They are also building a key hole garden and would like large plastic bottles and sand to create the garden. Please contact the Scouts if you are able to donate bottles or sand.
