B&Q collection and Jelly Bean Necker Sales

Well the weekend just gone, 8th - 9th March, was a busy one because we had people fundraising in 2 places, from collections in B&Q in Eastleigh to selling neckers at a campsite in Lyndhurst.

A number of scouts went down to B&Q in Eastleigh to help do some bag packing and walk around with collection buckets explaining the worthy cause that customers were donating to. £105.41 was made during this event so well done to those who were collecting that day!

One of the explorers, James, went camping for the weekend with a local scout troop - the one that he volunteers at as a young leader. He took along some jelly bean neckers to the campsite hoping to sell them to scouts and guides (because they were camping at Foxlease, guides swarmed the place)! The neckers were a great hit with the scouts and he sold out within a matter of minutes! £27 was raised so well done James!

Beaver Cinema Night - 7th March

As part of support from local scout groups, a beaver colony from the 4th Chandlers Ford had a cinema night to raise funds for Japan! 

Ben and Victoria were the Jamboree representatives that night.

£98.85 was raised and thank you to those who kindly donated during this event! 

The picture below is of Ben and Victoria presenting a PowerPoint about the Jamboree and the cinema night. 

County Quiz - 1st March

Last Saturday, 1st March, a number of scouts went down to help out at the county support quiz down at the 3rd Chandlers Ford Scout Hut. 

They helped cook the food, wait on the quiz contestants and sell a number of jelly bean neckers! 

It was a tremendous effort from the scouts which resulted in £167.61 being added to the Japan Fund! 

Making Neckers

So the mums and a few scouts are making fun jelly bean neckers this afternoon as a fundraiser! We'll sell them to Scouts or any other member of the Scouting District as a fun necker that looks funky and is fun to wear!
