Just a quick reminder that we will be holding our next Jumble Sale on Saturday 3rd October.

 We will not be selling furniture, microwaves TV’s etc, just Bric a Brac, clothes, shoes, toys, books, small electrics/electronics and jig saws.

If you would like to drop off items at the HQ we will be at the HQ on Friday 2nd October between 15.00 – 20.00 and on Saturday 09.30 -11.00. If you have any queries regarding the Jumble Sale or are able to help Friday afternoon, evening or on Saturday please contact davidwilcox@23rdbromleyscouts.org

Saturday 3rd October is the date for a 23^rd Scout Group Jumble Sale so please put the date in your diary.

If the jumble sale is to run smoothly we must have some help on the afternoon and evening of Friday 2nd October for putting up tables and sorting items as they come into the HQ and also on the morning of Saturday 3rd to sort any further donations.  Then in the afternoon we will need help serving on stalls, and of course clearing up after the sale together with the removal of the left-over goods. 

Many hands will definitely make lighter work of the event so please consider when you could best assist.

Please let us know when you can help by filling out the below form:

Our next maintenance morning at the 23rd Bromley Scout Hut will be on Saturday 12th September, 10am–12pm.

We’ll be getting stuck into a few jobs around the hut to keep everything looking its best and in good working order.

No specialist tools or skills are needed — just come along with a willingness to help and get involved! There will be plenty of jobs to suit everyone.

Saturday 12th September
10am–12pm

Please make a note in your diaries. We’d love to see as many volunteers as possible!

Before we head into the summer break, we’d like to remind everyone that our next 23rd Bromley Scouts Jumble Sale will take place on Saturday 3rd October.

Our Jumble Sale is a fantastic way to support local Scouting while giving unwanted items a new home. If you’re planning a clear-out over the summer holidays, we’d be grateful if you could set aside any donations for the sale.

We are looking for good quality:

• Bric-a-brac
• Clothes and shoes
• Toys
• Books
• Small electrical and electronic items
• Jigsaw puzzles

Please note that we are not able to accept furniture, microwaves, televisions or other large household items.

If you can, please also ask your friends, family and neighbours if they have any items they would like to donate. Every contribution helps make the event a success and raises valuable funds to support Scouting activities at 23rd Bromley.

Details of donation drop-off times at Scout HQ will be announced in early September when Scout meetings resume.

If you have any questions about the Jumble Sale, please contact David Wilcox at davidwilcox@23rdbromleyscouts.org.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the Jumble Sale on Saturday 3rd October!

The 23rd Bromley Scouts are proud of the fantastic improvements at our HQ – with new toilets, a refreshed kitchen, and an accessible ramp, the building is looking better than ever.

Now that the major upgrades are complete, we’re turning our attention to the smaller jobs that keep our headquarters safe, tidy, and welcoming for everyone.

To help with this, we’re launching monthly drop‑in maintenance sessions, starting Friday 5 June and continuing on the first Friday of each month.

Volunteers can join anytime between 9.30 am and 12.30 pm to lend a hand with simple maintenance tasks around the HQ and garden. Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided — along with plenty of good company.

The 23rd Bromley Scouts were delighted to support the St Christopher’s Fun Walk today, running one of the Marshall points and cheering on walkers throughout the route. It was a fantastic atmosphere and a brilliant community event for an important local cause. We’re proud to play our part and support St Christopher’s in the amazing work they do.

All of our members, parents and supporters are warmly invited to drop by and see the first phase of the newly renovated Scout HQ at 11am on Sunday 17th May at the end of the Parade Service.

Come take a look around, enjoy the fresh space, and celebrate this exciting update with us and enjoy a cup of Tea/Coffee & cake.

It would be great if you could join us!
