Pannal Scouts sell Christmas trees to raise money for hall improvements

The 1st Pannal Scout Group is selling Christmas trees to raise funds for the renovation of its scout hall.

The group, which celebrated its 75th anniversary this year, has more than 100 members aged four to 24.

The hall, which is on Spring Lane near Harrogate, has undergone renovations to make the building more accessible, including the installation of a disabled toilet and ramp. There is also a new outbuilding and mezzanine level in the existing hall.

The group hopes its latest festive initiative will raise another £1,500 to fund the final improvements to the building, which will be unveiled in January 2024.

Scout leader Andy Bielby told the Stray Ferret:

“Our group turned 75 last month and we're just finishing up some exciting renovations to our scout hall which we hope will keep us going for many more years.
"This year we're using the funds raised to complete some amazing transformation work to our scout hall in Pannal.
"We've been lucky to get some grant funding to bring the hall up to date. Unfortunately, that funding restricted us to certain uses so we're raising money towards some more modest repairs and painting!”


The locally-supplied Nordmann fir trees, which range from 3ft – 8ft, can be ordered online and collected from the Scout Hall.

Prices start at £25.
