David Evans has been in touch to tell me that the 1st Walsall Wood Scout Group, run by old friend of the blog Lee Bragginton has now moved into their new home – the former youth club building in the grounds of Walsall Wood School at Streets Corner, Walsall Wood, which has recently been refurbished and is also home to the wonderful Motivation Hub.
David was invited to pay the building a call – the second such visit he’s had in recent years, after being a pupil there when it was actually Walsall Wood School, way back in the 1950s. You can see a gallery of his first return to the building by clicking here.

I was delighted to be invited to see the new home for Walsall Wood Scouts, in the beautifully refurbished and redecorated former Junior School building by Oak Park, Walsall Wood, today, January 5th, 2019.
The building itself brought back many memories of time spent there when I was a pupil, a long time ago.
I congratulate the Brownhills Community Association on the beautiful restoration and I wish the Scouts every success as they settle in .
