16th Wigan Scout Group this week welcomed their local councillors with a cheque from the Brighter Borough fund to pay for new camping equipment the group will use on its upcoming camps.
Counsellors Marie and Clive Morgan (Winstanley Ward) and Helen O’Neill, Paul Molyneux and David Hurst (Worsley Mesnes Ward) presented the group, based just off Wigan Road in the Goose Green area, with a cheque for £700. The money will be used for a new marquee, tents and equipment to repair older tents for the youth members to use on their trips this summer and beyond.
