1st Norton-On-Tees Scouts are thrilled to announce that construction on the transformative renovation of their Scout Hall has officially begun! 1st Norton-On-Tees Scouts’ mission is to empower young people, support their health, well-being, and skills development, and to build a brighter future for all. With the support of a Youth Investment Fund £336,182.00 grant, and in partnership with their main contractor, Hobson Smith, and the architectural firm Mathew Trotter and Miller, they are one step closer to creating an inclusive, modern, and welcoming space for their community. The renovation includes:
  • Fully accessible spaces designed for everyone.
  • A brand-new, modern kitchen to support their activities.
  • New toilets and improved facilities for comfort and inclusivity.
  • An enhanced outdoor area that will be perfect for adventurous cooking and activities.
1st Norton-On-Tees Scouts say: “This project isn’t just about bricks and mortar. It’s about ensuring young people in Norton-on-Tees and beyond have access to opportunities that help them grow, thrive, and succeed. From life skills to outdoor adventures, this revamped space will serve as a hub for learning, inclusion, and fun for generations to come.” “A heartfelt thanks to the Youth Investment Fund, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and every individual who has supported us in this journey. Together, we’re creating a brighter, more inclusive future. Construction is underway, with completion anticipated by spring/summer 2025. We can’t wait to unveil the finished hall and share it with everyone in the community.” Graham King, Chairman of Trustees added: “This marks a significant milestone for the 1st Norton-On-Tees Scouts. With Hobson Smith and Mathew Trotter and Miller bringing our vision to life, we’re creating a Scout Hall that will serve our community for decades. It’s an exciting new chapter for us all.”
