A Scout group in Chippenham is continuing to expand despite losing its headquarters to flooding.
Since the November 2024 flood, the 10th Chippenham Scouts have adapted their operations across four separate sites in the town.
Currently, the organisation hosts over 120 young individuals aged four to 14.
Their activities span a diverse range from astronomy and DIY to emergency aid and pioneering.
The array of activities is also geared towards developing life skills, including money management, scientific exploration, and physical recreation.
Chief Scout Dwayne Fields said: "A vital part of my mission is to encourage our Scouts and volunteers to build their skills and find their future, and I'm really looking forward to meeting Scouts in Chippenham.
"I'd like to say 'thank you, and well done for all our Scouts do to support their local community.
"The team in 10th Chippenham are creating brighter tomorrows for a new generation.
"Scouts gives thousands of young people a place to belong and find their place in the world.
"We give them the skills to succeed and belief in themselves.
"The Scout Group at 10th Chippenham are helping over 120 young people to do all that and more.
"I'm so incredibly proud of everyone involved."
Dwayne added, "Let’s never forget that Scouts is powered by volunteers.
"We can only offer these great opportunities if we have enough adult volunteers to deliver them.
"As a volunteer myself, I know that it can be as much fun for us as it is for the young people.
"We make friends and learn new skills along the way. Well done to every Scout and volunteer in 10th Chippenham. You’re champions of our community.”
The group is now seeking a new permanent home.
