The Parents Committee at 1st Coburg is proud to have delivered this much needed upgrade to the bathroom and kitchen facilities.
In rededicating the hall on it's 50th birthday on the 28th of November 2020, our hall is now known as Tuddenham Hall, honouring six decades of combined meritorious service to our Group and local Scouting by Tom (Akela) Tuddenham and Connie (Baloo) Tuddenham.
Some pictures of the rededication and surprise rename ceremony are available here:
This project was made possible with the support of the entire 1st Coburg Scouts community, and financial support from:
