The event will raise money for Scalf New Forest and Milford and Keyhaven Cubs and Beavers.
Dozens of nautical-themed characters will be displayed around Milford and Keyhaven from 24th to 31st October as part of the village's first scarecrow trail.
The event, sponsored by local businesses, aims to bring the community together for a week of creativity, fun, and fundraising.
Participants are encouraged to let their imaginations run wild — scarecrows can be made from anything, not just straw.
