1st Westgate-on-Sea Scout Group Celebrates Squirrel Section’s First Anniversary with Special Donation from Local Business

1st Westgate-on-Sea Scout Group’s Squirrel Section celebrated its first anniversary this week, marking a fantastic year of fun, learning, and adventure for the youngest members of the Scout family. The celebration was made even more special with a generous donation from Maria, the owner of Central Cars (Thanet), who presented the group with a birthday gift of high-visibility jackets for the Squirrels to use during their outdoor activities.

The high-vis jackets are a thoughtful and practical gift that will help keep the young scouts safe while they are out and about on their many adventures, ensuring they are easily visible in all conditions. “We are incredibly grateful to Maria and Central Cars for their support,” said a spokesperson for the Scout Group. “The jackets are an essential part of our outdoor activities, and this donation ensures our Squirrels will stay safe while having fun exploring.”

The Squirrel Section, which welcomes children aged 4 to 6, has quickly become an important part of the 1st Westgate-on-Sea Scout Group, offering a variety of activities designed to develop skills, confidence, and a love of the outdoors. The group is thankful for the support from local businesses like Central Cars (Thanet), which helps ensure the safety and enjoyment of their youngest members.

The 1st Westgate-on-Sea Scout Group is always on the lookout for new volunteers over the age of 18 who wish to expand friendships, enjoy adventures, and learn new skills by becoming part of their dedicated team.
