Gone Home – Bill Hyde, 5th Gosport
Hampshire Scouting was sad to hear that Bill Hyde, Group Vice Chairman of the 5th Gosport Sea Scouts, has passed away.
Bill had been with the 5th Gosport since the mid-1970s, and was one of the key people responsible for building their HQ. He was also an active member of the Gosport District Scout Fellowship and Scout Active Support Unit, and was recently awarded the Bar to the Award for Merit in recognition of outstanding service.
The funeral will take place at 10am on Thursday 7th August, at Portchester Crematorium, and everyone is welcome. Donations please to Rowans Hospice c/o The Co-Op Funeral Service, 147 Stoke Road, Gosport PO12 1SE.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill’s family, friends and Scouting colleagues
