Some 100 children are missing out on activities and camps after the East Wickham scouts had their minibus stolen last week.

The white van, which says ‘2nd East Wickham scout group’ down both sides, was stolen from outside St Mary’s Church in Sandringham Drive, Welling.

It is a long wheelbase Ford Transit and has a distinctive dent in the back door under the ladder.

2nd East Wickham scout group Richard Gilman said: “This is devastating news for a thriving Scout Group which gives so many young people opportunities to enjoy new adventures, experience the outdoors and reach their full potential.

“The group are due to use the minibus this weekend for weekend camp. Please can we have it back by then?”

If you see the van, call the Met Police on 101 with a road name and description of the driver.
