The Centenary and Old Scouts Reunion in March attracted many Diehardians, apart from Old Scouts and their partners, members of the Group and a good number of parents came along to support a memorable occasion. Our special Guest of Honour was our UK Chief Commissioner - Carl Hankinson and he was accompanied by our County Commissioner and District Commissioners. Everyone was invited to sign the Centenary book which will be added to during the course of the year by Group members, it is a chance to leave a message there too.A full report is in Diehard News
