District Youth Commissioner, Connor Terry, and District Beaver Leader, Paul Batchelor have both received recognition this term for their contribution to Scouting and in particular their roles in organisation the Sleepover in aid of Porchlight.

Across the County thousands opf Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers were sleeping out in cardboard boxes to raise awarness of the growing issue of homelessness and raising funds for the Porchlight, a Kent based charity whose work supports helping the homeless.

Tunbridge Wells, as usual, rose to the challenge and the event, held at Adamswell in early October helped to raise over £11,800 for Porchlight.
