on Saturday 3rd February representatives from Hadrian District including Scouts from 1st Hexham & 1st Prudhoe, attended a tree planting ceremony in the park grounds in Hexham. Organised by the District Scout historian Mr Robert Hubbuck.

Robert said "What a quietly momentous day it was in keeping with our great country England. Our founder Lord Baden Powell I'm sure have been suitably impressed by our planting an oak tree for future generations, For it was he who uttered the immortal words "From a small acorn, a mighty oak tree will grow" and sit it was and so it is.

The big help out day on Monday 8th May saw an excellent turnout of volunteers. This enabled us to progress with our new fire pit area, We also erected new fencing and laid gravel up to and past the steps to Jack's shelter.

Thank you to everyone who came along & supported the help out . The new fire pit area is starting to look fantastic and hopefully will soon be in operation.   

Following a complaint from a local resident,the Scout Group would like to remind all users of the Lookwide Centre that between the hours of 9am & 5pm the parking bays above the Scout Centre are permit holder bays only for local residents. Please do not park in these bays during these hours of the day. We regret there is insufficient parking at times at the Centre, but this is not something that we can rectify. Patrons using the Centre are welcome to park on the drive in front of the garage when using the Centre & to park immediately in front of the Centre but please be aware these are time restricted bays and a Northumberland County parking disc must be displayed up to 5pm. We would also please ask parents who are picking children up following a section meeting to consider local residents when parking.  

Work has recently been completed on our new kitchen facilities at the Lookwide Centre. We have installed new kitchen units, new LED lighting, a new electric cooker, microwave and dishwasher alongside our existing fridge/ freezer. The other major change is a new serving hatch through to the main hall, which is protected with a roller shutter linked to the new fire alarm system which we had installed a few months ago. The new facilities offers an excellent upgrade for the group and the hirers who use our premises.
