79th Reading Scouts Group Fundraising Events

21/04/2026

The 79th Reading Scout Group is part of the wider Pang Valley District Scouts. We have proudly served the Tilehurst community for over 90 years and operate from very own purpose-built HQ on Armour Hill.

The group welcomes both boys and girls aged 6 to 18, with approximately 200 young people across three Beaver Colonies, two Cub Packs, two Scout Troops, one Explorer Unit, and a Scoutlink section for children with SEND in the District.

This year, we will be celebrating our 90th birthday, along with the Beavers’ 40th and the Cubs’ 110th anniversaries. We want to mark this milestone in style and give our scouts a celebration to remember, including a small keepsake for all.

To help make this possible, we are delighted to share an exciting fundraising opportunity. We have been generously donated an official Reading FC 2025/26 season shirt, signed by the squad and complete with a Certificate of Authenticity. This is a truly special piece of memorabilia and a fantastic opportunity for supporters and collectors alike to own something unique.

We will be holding an online auction for this item, with all proceeds going towards supporting our group activities and creating memorable experiences for our young people during this milestone year. Please feel free to share with friends and family.https://auctionofpromises.com/ReadingFCShirt2526

If you would like to bid, please follow the link below to participate. The auction will start at 9:00 AM on 6/4/2026 (a nod to “106 Day” for all those Royals fans out there!) and will close at 9:00 PM on 9/5/2026.
