Coun Taylor commented: "The work of the Scout Groups is impressive, there is an increase in children joining Scouting and the awards I have presented, prove how they respond.

"Thanks has to go to the many group leaders and volunteers that assist.

"I would also like to thank everyone at the Methodist Chapel Spilsby, for hosting the Carol Service, which has given people a first glimpse of the beautifully decorated Christmas trees, which are in place for the current Christmas Tree Festival"
