Scouts are desperate for sponsorship to help upgrade their headquarters.

They cannot do any work on the building in Station Road, Chinnor, because they do not own the land.

However, this will change once the parish council has given them the site in exchange for land owned by the scout group in Greenwood Avenue.

And it is then that fundraising will begin in earnest, scout group organiser Dee Turton said.

She added: "We have been fundraising for some years but with this new project we are going to need a lot of help.

"We are trying to contact any companies which sponsor local projects or people who can help with materials and skills at reasonable rates.

"We will be having a lot of fundraising events which we hope will be well supported."
