GoodGym were back at 1KH Scout group today to carry on the work we started a few weeks ago. The plan was to continue building some raised beds for the scouts to use for planting veg, fruit and flowers.

5 GoodGymers got stuck in to the task, donning gloves and gathering shovels, trowels and pick-axes. The process involved sinking some long concrete slabs into the ground to create the beds. This meant lots of measuring, digging, troweling, re-measuring, re-digging, lifting, etc. A proper workout of a task but so good to do some heavy work and see the results after our efforts.

We were kept hydrated by some helpful cub & scout volunteers and once the beds were built we all tucked in to a proper scouting lunch of bacon & sausage sandwiches and a huge slab of cake. All very well deserved of course!

Great to have you over from Richmond, Rosie, and a very fond farewell to Jorge on his final GoodGym before he moves over to Paris. Bon voyage Jorge, you will be missed!
