Children FROM the 34th Ayrshire, 1st Mauchline Scouts, Cubs and Beavers have appeared in a special video to say ‘thanks’ to NHS and key workers.

Scout members took to their doorstep to clap, sing and dance as a way of showing their appreciation to workers, with one member even performing a special rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’.

Graeme Strawhorn, Group Scout Leader, said: “This little video is an excellent reflection of the dedication within the group and the fun we all have together. Importantly, the message of respect for everyone out there working to support our community embodies one of the core principles of our Scout Law.”
