Scout Hall Receives Major Renovations Thanks to Lottery Funding

A major milestone came in 2001 when the Group secured £54,000 from the National Lottery for extensive renovations to the Scout Hall, including a new front extension with storage and meeting rooms. Edinburgh City Council contributed a further £4,700 to support accessibility improvements. During construction, the Group met in local schools and church halls. The renovated building officially opened on Saturday, 26 May 2001, with Group President and District Representative Tom Woof unveiling the plaque. The event allowed parents, supporters, and former members to see the transformed hall and acknowledge the contributions that made the project possible.
