Aim

Help Dawlish Scout Group into the 21st Century - Covid 19 has closed us down - Donations can also be used to cover running costs.

Dawlish Scout Group have made some wonderful memories during the last 30 years in our beloved scout hut.  It is with extreme sadness that we are currently closed as a group due to Cornovirus - but our resourceful volunteer leaders are continuing to reach out to our young people via group chats and technology.  During this campaign, we have had to cancel a couple of fund raising initiatives leaving our project not as well supported as we had hoped.  We are therefore relying upon the generosity of Aviva employees who are yet to donate their vouchers, and anybody else who takes the time to explore this project.

We have recently agreed a new 28 year lease and must continue fund raising so that we may update our scout hut to  make sure it is fit for use into the future.  

We will  then share it with other groups by creating Huthub - an affordable venue for community use.  

We would like to include some basic technology to make this a more attractive proposition - a telephone line and broadband access.                                         

We would also like to set up a website that will allow us to take bookings for Huthub online and also purchase a white board to fix in the hut for presentations and interactive activities.

The benefits to the scout group will be the ability to run the group more efficiently - it will enable us to run an Apprentice style challenge, we will be able to present whizzy interactive sessions, and save leaders from completing admin tasks at home.  

Huthub will provide some additional income  to keep the scout hut well maintained in the long term.  This investment in new technology will ensure that 1st Dawlish Scout Group will continue to be successful into the future.
