Fundraising progress
Follow our fundraising journey as we work towards making the new Watton-at-Stone Scouts & Guides hut a reality. Here you can see how much we’ve raised so far, where that support has come from, and how much we still need to reach our goal. Every grant, donation and fundraising event takes us another step closer to creating a fantastic new home for Scouts and Guides in our village — a space that can serve local young people and the wider community for many years to come.
