FUNDRAISING :

SQUIRES - We were fortunate enough to be asked to run Santa’s Grotto again this year for our much needed fund raising. We had a great response from parents and leaders alike to play the part of Santa with the young people helping giving out chocolate and taking generous donations from the public. We were able to raise approximately £1800 which will go towards our newly obtained Mini Bus payment and insurance. So thank you everyone who was able to help out, pop down, play the role, and generally support 3rd Whitton

RICHMOND MAY FAYRE  - Our next main fundraising event will be at Richmond May Fayre, Richmond Green on 7/8th May 2010.

WORLD JAMBOREE 2011 :

The 2011 World Jamboree will be held in Sweden. Scouts will be informed by the Scout Leaders as to the selection process  to be a part of the UK contingent.

There may however be a District Camp arranged in Denmark or Sweden to co-incide with the World Jamboree and the District Commissioner has asked Cub Scout Leader Peter to undertake a feasibility study. If you are interested, please contact your Scout Leader for more details.

During Autumn 2009, the Ibn Battuta Beavers and Cubs took part in the mr. men and little miss the children's marathon challenge. The Challenge is based around the number 26 – the number of miles in a marathon. Most of the children did good turns for their family and friends. A grand total of 25 pounds and 43 pence was raised for children with leukaemia.
 

Don’t forget to collect Active Kids vouchers at Sainsburys and donate them to 3rd Whitton Scout Group!

Sainsburys have a special catalogue of equipment aimed just for Scout Groups and it would be really great if we can renew some of our kit stores and get new sports and outdoor equipment.
