Scout Community Week 14th – 20th May 2012
The Scout Association has developed an exciting new fundraising campaign to help Scout Groups across the UK make an impact on their local communities. Part of the fundraising will support the valuable work of the Development Grants Board. Grants are made available for a range of things including starting a new Scout Group, leader training, trustee/executive training, minibus training, support for members 'in financial hardship' and for members with special needs.
Scout Community Week takes the best bits of Scout Job Week and offers Groups the opportunity to design a fundraising project that delivers real benefits locally. B&Q are supporting Scout Community Week and we will be approaching local businesses regarding sponsorship or donating resources for the chosen project.
Boughton Monchelsea Scout Group are therefore asking the Parish Council, Maidstone Borough Council and members of the local community to suggest projects which would enable the boys and girls to help the community. You may be aware that the Scouts already do a Parish Litter Sweep twice a year and raise funds by recycling clothing, waste paper, etc.
Please contact Robin Fuller with your ideas for projects, large or small, which can then be put to the Group Executive and Scout’s Forum. We are keen that, where possible, the chosen projects can involve the whole group; Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
There is a lot more information on www.scouts.org.uk/scoutcommunityweek.
