NEWS FROM THE SCOUTS:
Our Scouts have been busy fundraising in the run up to Christmas. On 17th November they raised £800 by organising a sponsored scavenger hunt across London, with teams of Scouts, each with a large green (empty) Shelter box visiting and photographing a number of interesting locations in the capital. Four weeks later and some 55 Scouts spent 10 hours bag-packing in Morrison's in Palmers Green, raising a further £1,500. The troop has therefore raised sufficient money to fund 3 more Shelterboxes to be used in disasters anywhere around the globe, so well done to them!
Scout meetings will resume on Monday 13th and Wednesday 15th January at the usual times.
