40 Junior soldiers of Platoon 17 of Peninsula Company from Harrogate AFC attended The scout hut this weekend tohelp with the refurbishment of the hut. The platoon split into two grpups one that worked inside on painting while the other concentrated on clearing debris, cutting back the undegrowth and replacing a broken fence post. Many of these lads are just 16 and are just about to finish the initial part of theri basic trainning befre heading off to their respective units, we had prospective Riflemen, Logisticians, Signals and Paras. This work was all completed as part of their DofE, many of them had never held a paint brush before let alone swung a sledge hammer!
It truely is amazing what an organized team of people can do, we hope to continue our relationship with them in the future.
