Several leaders and executive committee members of 1st Keighley (Fell Lane) Scouts, who together have clocked up 165 years with the movement, have received long service certificates.

Muriel Clarke has served 40 years, Ronnie and Eileen Pickles 30 each, Michael Cunningham and Graham Astell-Burt 25 years each and Catherine Wood 15. Mr Astell-Burt was also presented with the medal of merit.

A spokesman said: “Some of the stages of service are an achievement in themselves but to get 165 years at one group is quite something.”
