The Freemason’s Grand Charity is supporting The Scout Association with a donation of £500,000 over 5 years, ‘to encourage and expand Scouting across the country’, through a variety of ways including support to resources and Start up Grants.

The 1st Atherstone Scout group have been given money from Grand Lodge to help start a new Cub Scout pack named the Lockley Pack.

The Atherstone Scouts were asked to contact their local Lodge with a view to setting up a link between the two organisations.

Following the donation to the Scouts and a visit to the Scout HQ by members of the Lodge, members and leaders of 1st Atherstone Scouts visited the Lodge rooms.
