What an absolute pleasure having The Hygiene Bank joining us this week.

Thank you so much for every donation made 🥰

Helen and Serena had the pleasure of meeting the Beavers at 58th Doncaster Scout Group this week on Tuesday and Thursday.

They had done hygiene worksheets, colouring, discussions and calculations about the costs of staying clean, word searches and crosswords. Such engagement from children so young.

Two incredible collections for us, plus some of the most inquisitive questions we’ve ever been asked. It was rather emotional hearing their young minds working- I’m sure there’s some future volunteers in there!

Thank you for having us back again and your ongoing support!

As part of our upcoming race night - sponsored by My Pension Expert, one of our Scouts has been lucky enough to be selected for the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027 and is on a quest to raise £3500.

She will be selling ownership of the horses for the races for £5 at each section meetings until the race night. (Cash only)

For this you get to name your horse and if it wins in the race you get a bottle of spirits.

Even if you cannot make the race night, you can still buy a horse and we'll give you a ring with your prize. So please dig deep to support Ruby, as one day you child could be lucky enough to be in this same position and we doing everything we can to support the young people of our group.

If you can attend and buy tickets that would be even better! As we want to fill the room in support!
