Q3 2007
Initially, Jack van Eldert's Torch initiative was only
concerned with placing new fencing on the site of the St. Martinus Scouts hall
in Beek, to keep vandals and unwanted guests out. But as time went on, the
plans developed further, such as making alterations to the entrance of the
building, the bicycle garage, the car park, the field and last but not least:
the site of the campfire. All of these improvements got under way from
September 1. Scouting president, John Visser, the Mayor of Beek, Armand
Cremers and Gerard van der Zanden of DSM hoisted the flags of St. Martinus
Scouts, the municipality of Beek and the Torch initiative. The ceremony was
attended by two hundred enthusiastic scouts and their families.
