A SCOUT group has marked the end of an era after a volunteer stepped back as leader after more than 60 years.

Kathleen Coy has helped organise six decades of fun and adventures for the 5th Lichfield Scout Group.

During that time, she has held a number of roles, including Cub Scout Leader, Beaver Scout Leader and Group Scout Leader.

Assistant leader Ann Whittenbury said Kathleen would be “dearly missed”.

> “Kath is a truly inspirational leader – she has had an impact on the lives of many young people over her years with the group and had been influential on many leaders who have served alongside her.”

Despite standing down, Kathleen will continue to serve in the Scout Active Support team of ex-leaders who support the Scouts movement.

Ann added:

> “As a group, we want to wish Kath the very best for the future and we look forward to seeing her around the district in her new role.”
