First of all we'll like to apologise for the lack of blogging recently. Our communications expert has been revising for GCSEs and has had other Scouting committments.
During the month of April we took part in many fundraising events from bag packing to a massive district campfire.
Bag Packing
We have done various bag packing events with cake sales along side them.
Some of us went down to hobbycraft to bag pack, sell cakes and paracord.
We also went down to B&Q, Tesco and Sainsburys to do mass bag packing.
Here are the totals we raised:
B&Q: £105.41
Hobbycraft: £139.64
Tesco: £234.52
Sainsburys: £393.50
Car Washing
Over the past few months car washing has seemed a rather popular thing to raise money for Japan. It's quick, requires minimal organisation and we get a massive response from the community.
Every other month/every month we run a car wash down at the Hiltingbury Rec Car Park on a Saturday morning.
During April we made £160.00 from car washing!
We charge £5 a car and that includes a free hot drink - bare that in mind for next time when you are passing!
District Campfire
On Friday 2nd May we hosted a massive district campfire for the Chandlers Ford District. It was mainly for Beavers and Cubs but we spotted a few explorers hiding in the audience!
We sold paracord bracelets, jelly bean neckers with smiley face woggles, glow sticks, hot dogs and hot drinks. It was a £1 per person to get in and we had a massive response.
Everyone enjoy the evening and a few of us woke everyone up by singing the popular campfire song 'Everywhere We Go'.
Thank you to those who came to the campfire! We hope to do another one in September!
PS - We are waiting for some pictures from the campfire to be sent to us!
St. George's Day Parade
Due to the weather we couldn't sell any cakes at St. Georges Day Parade but instead we gave out leaflets with information on our future events. Publicity is growing!
Waitrose
We now have a box at Waitrose in Chandlers Ford to enable those that shop there to donate their green token into our box. Visit http://www.waitrose.com/ for more details.
