Project Lindisfarne
For the latest news and more please join and follow us on Facebook by clicking on the link.The geographical area from Berwick to Felton has a proud Scouting history. In the course of the century of Scouting, most centres of population have enjoyed a Scouting presence. Over the years, shifting population patterns and demographic changes have caused a marked decrease in the number of local communities which benefit from Scouting. Project Lindisfarne seeks to redress this.
As part of the Northumberland County Scouts Development Plan, Project Lindisfarne will re-activate Scouting in this area, currently covered by North Northumberland and Mid-Northumberland Districts.
Project Lindisfarne -
Developing Scouting between Coquet and Tweed
It has now been a year since Project Lindisfarne began, and time has flown by! Over the year I have focussed on recruiting adults to start new groups as well as supporting both Districts. The year has been challenging in places but always rewarding. The project will continue with its successes and supporting Scouting in future years.
