A WYRE Forest Scout group called on its supporters to help Operation Covert at its annual meeting.

The collection by the 12th Kidderminster (Blakedown) Scout Group raised £50.

Members and village residents packed into the group headquarters, off Belbroughton Road, on Monday, May 9.

Youngsters were presented with awards and members were told about what the future held for the busy group.

Chairman, Ashley Cairns, said: "We use Rhydd Covert, I would say, every month. It is very much valued by the group as a great resource because not everywhere has something like that."
