A day of celebrations to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the opening of the Kenmore Scout Den in Bielby Road.
Many parents, grandparents, Scout Leaders, Scout Members and friends of Kenmore Scout Group came together on Saturday 5th November 2016 for this special event, and we were delighted to have a number of special guests in attendance, including Hon. Jane Prentice MP, Dr Christian Rowan MP and Cr Julian Simmonds. Immediate Past Chief Commissioner Kirsty Brown performed a re-dedication of the Den.
Demonstrations of various scouting activities were carried out during the afternoon, culminating in a celebratory Campfire as darkness fell and the day drew to a close.
