Today we had the absolute pleasure of hosting a very special joint 100th birthday celebration for Muriel Freestone and Jean Frew at Waddecar Scout Activity Centre!
Both of these remarkable ladies have been instrumental in West Lancashire Scouts for many years, dedicating their time, energy and passion to Scouting and positively influencing the lives of countless young people along the way.
Their contribution to Scouting is immeasurable, and the legacy they have created will continue to inspire generations to come.
It was a real honour to welcome everyone to Waddecar to celebrate two incredible milestones and two truly inspirational ladies.
Happy 100th Birthday, Muriel and Jean!
Thank you both for everything you have done for Scouting.
