My daughter lesley is raising money for 1st Bethersden and Its for a specific reason to help raise funds for 1st Bethersden scout hut to help with ugert repairs needed, her aim and goal is to hike from her home in great chart all the way to toddlers cove playpark in Canterbury, it's around 20miles and not incudling stops will take appox 8 hours, she's made a kit list, planned route, brought first aid etc to get herself equipped on hike, will be taking the train home! the hall repairs needed have meant sadly the Scouts haven't been able to use thier own hall for quite some time nor have the cubs or beavers and guiding movement there but whould love that to be possible in September for the new term. The 3 scout leaders themselves have been amazing with lesley and have learn how to read her mood and at times see her struggles while helping her build confidence and reach goals, she has done lots of activities with the Scout group too incudling short hikes, wall climbing, boating, brushcraft, knoylts, scout badge work, go karting and more , due to many reasons out of the 3 scout leaders control she will not be returning to Bethersden in September and is transferring slowly over to a unit nearer home however lesley wants to give back a bit before she leaves and this is her way of doing that
