Work on the new Baden Powell Hall in Welcome Bay is well under way.
Girl guides Kate Hawtorne, 10, left, and Shannon Smith, 9, got a sneak peek at their new haunt yesterday.
The former 32-year-old Baden Powell Hall sat in the path of the $55 million underpass that would provide a direct link to the Hairini causeway and Turret Rd.
Although there was sadness that the old hall had to go, the up-side was the Government was paying to build a brand new home for Scouts and Guides on Ila Park off Harrisfield Drive in the neighbouring suburb of Ohauiti.
The new hall was expected to open in June or July.
