Our first world Scout Jamboree fundraiser is underway!!! A massive thank you to Frank Blakeley & Son Ltd for their super kind donation for us to raffle off!
Today We have been gifted 3 teddies (1 reindeer, 1 Santa and 1 Penguin) with a voucher for each to be personalised by the Blakeley Custom Print & Embroidery department!!! These are fantastic and much appreciated.
We will be selling tickets at £1 per strip, for whichever specific teddy you would like to be entered into the draw for!! You can buy as many as you like, for whichever one you like (you could even try for all 3 😜) Keep an eye out at Christmas Fairs for us, or drop us a message on FB to buy tickets!
Again, thanks for the support!!

Good Evening
One of our Explorers is fundraising for cancer research, and is doing a sponsored bike ride. As some of you may or may not know our family has been heavily touched in the last 8/9 months by cancer so this is a cause very close to our heart, and probably most peoples to be honest!
If anyone wishes to help them in their challenge the link to their fundraising page is below!!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m going to be cycling 300 miles in July to help raise money for Cancer Research UK. Please show your support and help fund life-saving research by donating to my page.
