Our Squirrel Drey is going from strength to strength, and we are delighted (and very proud, ed.) to say that our very first Chief Scout’s Acorn Award was achieved by Zoé Shannon just before the summer break.

Earlier this year 1st Sunningdale were fortunate to be given some fantastic go-karts (or recumbents to give them their proper name).

A notable occasion in the rain…. GSL Hilary presents Dominic Leigh with his Diamond Chief Scout Award – it’s the highest a Scout can achieve before the Queen’s Award, and there’s not been one in 1st Sunningdale in living memory.
