Car Parking
Every year, the Explorer Commissioner gets asked by Lakeside Railway (Thomas the Tank Engine) if a few Explorers wouldn't mind car parking during the 3 busy event weekends. This is mainly open to explorers and they get paid to do it. Peter kindly opened it up to us WSJ lot as well so we could use the money made from car parking, to help fundraise.
So far some of us have car parked on 2 out of the 3 event weekends. The Railway Staff are very grateful for our efforts and the customers find it less stressful with us there to help find them a parking space.
We are unknown of the monies that we have been paid yet. We will know during the autumn term.
Car Washing at the Potters Heron
Every year the staff at the Potters Heron pub in Ampfield put on a complimentary car wash for those fathers who have booked the Father's Day Meal.
We had a load of bidding Scouts/Explorers joining up to help with this event; some were WSJ and some were not.
We got paid £5 per car and it was some time ago so I cannot remember the full total we made!
I would upload some photos but due to a technology failure, I am unable to get them off my phone at this moment in time; they will be up soon!

Takeda Donation
We contacted a number Japanese drug companies asking for donations.
We got a reply from a Japanese pharmaceutical company, Takeda, and they generously donated £200 to our fund!
Thank you for the generous donation Takeda!

Another Fundraising Update!
So we've been away online for a number of weeks due to our communications person having to study for GCSEs and not be able to keep the blog up to date. But don't worry, he's back!
Beaver and Cub Campfire
We held a massive district campfire at our local campsite, Cranbury Park and invited Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers! We had a burgers/sausages being cooked on the altar fires, jelly bean neckers being sold, glowsticks being sold, and then the delights of James, George and Cecily leading the singing at the campfire. It's safe to say, James and George got the so called 'party started' with the popular song of "Every Where We Go!"
Approximately £900 was made that evening!
Fryern Fantasia
We had a stall at the Fryern Fantasia where we had a coconut shy, neckers and a few other bits and bobs! The Mayor had a go on the coconut shy.
Approximately £150 was made!
May Car Wash
So most months we do a car wash down at Hiltingbury Rec Car Park. May's Car Wash raised £161.60!
4th Scout Group AGM
A few of us went down to help with giving out and supplying refreshments at the 4th Scout Group AGM. Those who bought teas, coffees and cakes from us in exchange for a donation.
£53.60 was made!
Waitrose Tokens
Every month, Waitrose pick 3 charities to take part in the green token scheme. We were chosen to do this and thankfully got £173.10 from it.
June Car Wash
It's that time again and we did another car wash! It was a bit quiet this time but we managed to raise £61.
So there we have it, more fundraising that has gone on within the Chandlers Ford District. We also have a group quiz night coming up in September, followed by a concert in October, closely followed by a Casino Night and finally to top the 2014 off we have our Christmas Bazaar!
