Your meetings have been so beneficial for the whole Group during lockdown, as it gave them some sense of normality and it was so much fun!

I just wanted to write and say thank you to you and everyone involved at the 25th Purley. From zoom meetings, prep work behind the scenes and your activity days, my son loves it all!

It has been so important for my son to have interaction with his friends albeit virtually – you have been so much better than his school in keeping in touch and he has enjoyed the activities and competitive element!

I enjoy being part of a big family where everyone is able to express themselves and learn new skills… I get to experience an amazing variety of activities, and have made friends for life!

On behalf of myself and Billy, I would really like to thank Akela and all the leaders and young leaders for the efforts with the virtual meetings. They are so brilliant, well organised and Billy enjoys them so very much!

I just wanted to say a big thank you, my son told us he had such a brilliant time today. He loved the games and cooking the marshmallows on the campfire and seeing all his Beaver friends again. My other son cannot wait until he is old enough to join!

We wanted to say a huge thank you for all your hard work all year, and especially in the last few months. Organising the Zoom meetings must have been very challenging at times, but it was so wonderful to know that my daughter would see her Scout group and friends every week. The sessions were so inventive and engaging, and a huge well done to everyone involved!
