The new 12-toilet and shower block, which is due to open at the end of June, will replace the existing toilet facilities, freeing up space in the main hut.

'It will completely enhance the headquarters for our members,' said Group Scout Leader Helen Cardani. 'And because we will have more space, we will be able to accept bigger groups from all over the area for camping, and offer opportunities for people with disabilities.'

Mrs Cardani added that group members would continue to hold fundraising events for 'extras', including camping and archery equipment.
