Gtr Manchester East Scouts cover a significant part of Cheshire and were finding in some of the deprived areas where they operate that the cost of hiring a mini bus to take scouts on trips was preventing boys from disadvantaged backgrounds from attending camps. 

The mini bus that has been purchased by Cheshire Freemasons comes with a wheelchair ramp that has taken its use to a whole new level as even more scouts are now able to take advantage of the opportunities presented by Scouting.
