On Tuesday 19 November, two brand new Explorer units of the 30th Purley Masjid Scout Group formerly opened with an Investiture held at Royal Russell School (by kind permission of the Headmaster, Chris Hutchinson).
Some twenty Explorers made their Scout promise in the presence of Colonel Ray Wilkinson MStJ QVRM TD DL VR, Representative Deputy Lieutenant for the London Borough of Croydon who presented them with their neckerchiefs and membership badges.
All families attended to support them along with guests including Colonel Hugh Purcell OBE DL, Chair of YOU London. Representing the Scout Association, Jemma Shaw, Head of Inclusive Growth was delighted to read out a letter from HM The King wishing the group success for the future.
