A COUPLE who have dedicated years to the Scout movement are retiring.
Terry and Wendy Beer, of Darlington, will leave their posts with the groups at St Mark's with St Paul's Church, North Road, in May.
Mr Beer is Group Scout Leader at the church and runs the Venture Scouts. Mrs Beer is in charge of the Cubs group.
To ensure continuity for the youngsters, church leaders are looking for replacements for the couple.
A spokesman for the church said: "We are very grateful to Wendy and Terry for all their efforts - they will be a hard act to follow.
"We are appealing for a new Akela (Cubs leader). The Scout Association will be willing to provide any training required."
The Beavers, Sunday School and mothers and toddlers groups at the church also need volunteers to help run their meetings.
Anyone interested in helping can call (01325) 382400.
