The Scout Association of Malta is organising the official opening of the Xaghra Scout Group Headquarters in Triq ta' Hamet, Xaghra,, which is taking place tomorrow, Sunday, the 1st of May.

The Group through its volunteers, helpers, supporters, benefactors, local council and ministry has renovated a very dilapidated 1700s farmhouse through the past four years to serve as their weekly meeting place for their 100 scout members.

The renovation has cost in the range of €90,000, which includes both financial payments and donations in kind.

The Group will now finally have an adequate base from where to promote the social, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and spiritual formation of its young members.
