On Saturday, the 26th of October, we started the process of replacing the exterior walls of our Scout Hut. Three unsuccessful applications for a grant to replace our Scout Hut with a new building have reassured us we need to refurbish what we already own. A fourteen-hour session by group leaders succeeded in repairing the floor inside the emergency exit and replacing four of the eight exterior panels on that wall. We removed decking from outside that wall, which was causing rainwater to flow into the wall was also and preventing ventilation under the building. During the process of fitting new boards and reinforcing the wall frame insulation was introduced into those wall panels with a moisture barrier membrane over that.
As funds become available, we will work our way around the exterior walls until they are all replaced. We will then address replacing our canvas store and changing the heating inside the building. If you see any adverts for our fundraising events, please support us if you are willing.
