Work is now being carried out on the interior of the new building at the Grove in Rye. Rye Scouts Group leader William Perfitt said: “We have progressed a long way with the new building but still need to raise funds. The Scouts are holding a fund raising Fair in the grounds of the new building, next door to Rye Sports Centre. It takes place on Saturday October 5 from 10am - 3pm. People will have an opportunity to see how the building has progressed and there will be a barbecue and refreshments, a cake stall, tombola, a china smash, book stall and fun games. First Rye Scouts is one of the oldest Scout troops in the movement. Their old building became stranded in the middle of a busy car park when the Rye sports centre was built.
