26 May 2022: Scouts AccommodationNew accommodation block opened for the Scouts at Bromham
The Lodge of Friendship Scouts Accommodation Lodge in Bromham was officially opened this morning by the Pro Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Peter Lowndes, in the presence of many local dignitaries, Scouts representatives, and of course our Provincial Grand Master, Tony Henderson, and his executive.

The Lodge was funded by over £500,000 in donations from Bedfordshire Freemasons, and the finished building hugely impresses all its visitors. This building will be helping young people from across the region, and from across the world, to enjoy the facilities of the Leslie Sell Activity Centre for decades to come, and we are very proud to have been able to make it happen.
Video of the unveiling is available on YouTube
