Recognising our volunteersRecognising our volunteers
We couldn’t provide the amazing level of Scouting we do in Basingstoke East without our amazing volunteers who give up their time each week.
On top of our week to week Scouting so many of our volunteers go even further and achieve extra awards, activity permits, wood badges and so much more. Each year we bring these volunteers together to recognise their dedication and celebrate their awards.
