Fantastic weekend with the District's first ever Silver DofE teams out on their practice expedition, well done everyone!
Participants were able to make use of DofE adjustments due to camping not being allowed.
Great job by all the participants and massive thank you to the leaders and parents!

In Maidstone East we have a thriving community of Scout Groups who work tirelessly providing adventure, friendship and fun for young people whilst challenging them and helping them to achieve their full potential – we are proud to be increasing in numbers year on year.
Sadly, due to the current Government advice on Coronavirus, UK Scouting has suspended all face to-face activities for the foreseeable future. This unfortunately means that we’ve had to suspend our District programme. Please check back periodically for updates.
