The first Swindon members of a new scouting section have been invested.
Explorer Scouts at the Swindon Ridgeway Group, the troop covering the southern part of Swindon, were welcomed at a special ceremony last Friday at Christ Church Leisure Centre in Old Town.
A recent national review of scouting in the UK recommended upgrading the movement by splitting it into different age sections with Explorer Scouts specifically for teenagers aged between 14 and 18.
For more information on Swindon Ridgeway Scouts call Scout commissioner Andy Gould on 758384.
