Thank you to everyone who attended our Christmas Fair yesterday. We raised an amazing £650.37. And most importantly, had some great fun throughout.

A huge shout out to all the amazing volunteers from 6 year old beavers up to our 60(cough) plus helpers. We couldn’t have done it without you.

If you would like to join our team of incredible volunteers, we are ready to welcome you on to the team. Whether it’s helping at weekly meetings, being on our trustee board or assisting at one of the events for our young people we have a role for you.

We have been given the opportunity to support Bromley Rotary with their Santa and Sleigh collections this year. This is an initiative that we have supported over recent years – not only is it a thoroughly rewarding experience, but it also a fantastic source of fundraising for the group.

We are looking for adults to help us with the collections on Thursday 12^th December. It will start around 5.30pm and finish by 8.30pm – but we split the evening into two slots so we hope to have enough volunteers so people are only needed for circa 90 minutes.  

If you are able to spare some time to support this festive event, please either comment below, send us a message on Facebook, or drop us an email on admin@23rdbromleyscouts.org.

Alan, known as “Tigger”, first become an Assistant Cub Scout Leader with Kim Pack in 1985, a role he held until 2004. After stepping back from leadership he continued to support the group, attending events such as Jumble Sales and Race Nights.
