2010
The Start
In 2010 a group of 28 scouts and leaders set off for Jinja in Uganda, where they were based at BP Training Ground and Camp Site.
​
The idea was to build a school, but also teach those in Jinja how to build themselves, starting with how to make bricks.
​
The land to be used was donated by the Anglican Church who, to this day, remain invested in the school that has been built
​

Returning
In 2016 the scouts returned, adding to the work already achieved.
​
Along with hundreds of books being donated, the scouts also added guttering and a huge water butt to the school which has allowed them to harvest rain water to aid the growth of crops.
​
On their return the scouts noticed the School had a fence erected around it. It was later discovered that the school is now held in such high regard, and with such importance, that it was decided to add a fence to highlight its importance.

Building for the future
In 2022 the Scouts will be returning with a new building project in mind.
​
2022 will see the building of a dormitory, from scratch, to allow the school to continue growing.
​
There will also be skills being passed between the scouts and locals to pass knowledge between both sides
