Around 75 Godshill Scouts have built bird boxes from recycled materials to create new nesting opportunities for local wildlife — at a cost of just £45.

Current Lead Volunteer Dave Simpson will step down in July 2026 after seven years in the role.

Few milestones can match 70 years of dedicated service, but Val (89) and Don (90) Sambrook have spent seven decades giving freely of their time to Scouting.
