These are some of the ways we use to raise money to help pay for camps, activities and equipment and the ongoing running costs of the Scout Group.

Bag2school

This organisation collects unwanted adult and childrens clothing, shoes, bags and accessories, sheets, blankets and curtains. They provide special bags and will collect on a pre-arranged date.  In return, we receive 50p for every kilo donated.

The next collection date will be on Monday 5th December 2011 - bags will be sent home a few weeks before so you can start collating any unwanted items. Please bring the bags to the church hall during the sessions on Friday 2nd December.

The last collection raised £195 - so please see what unwanted items you may have lying around at home!!

Shopping Vouchers -

We have registered with both Tesco and Sainsburys to collect their vouchers for sports and games equipment. Please let us have any that you collect as soon as possible so that we can have as much time as possible to choose the items we would like. Well done and thank you to all of you that have been collecting for us.

Bag Packing

From time to time we are offered opportunities to bag pack at local supermarkets. We are very grateful to Morrisons, Sainsburys, Marks & Spencers and the local co-op in Compton for their help with this in recent years. We have a code of conduct for behaviour and the way that we wish to present ourselves. As these events can raise large amounts of money it is very important that members dress smartly and are polite to customers.
