“It was great to be part of this community event, sharing stories of Scouting adventure and promoting volunteering in local groups,” said newly appointed District Commissioner for Mid Sussex Scouts Mark Scholfield.

“There’s huge demand for Scouting in Mid Sussex at the moment and this was a brilliant opportunity for us to raise awareness of our need for more volunteers,” he said.

Jo Bevan, Group Scout Leader, 10th Haywards Heath & Mid Sussex District Scouts, said: “It was wonderful to be part of such a successful, large-scale community event after such a long period of enforced absence.”
