Jumble Sale – Volunteers Required

The 18th April 2026 is the proposed date for a 23rd 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 17th April for putting up tables and sorting items as they come into the HQ and also on the morning of Saturday 18th 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:

Annual Report & Accounts 2025

Thanks to all who attended our recent Annual General Meeting where the Annual Report & Accounts for 2025 we presented and approved. It is fantastic to see how much the group have been up to over the last year – thank you to all of the volunteers who have made this possible.

After 14 years of dedicated service, Henry Hudson has stepped down as Group Secretary, and we are now seeking a new volunteer to take minutes at the four annual Trustee meetings. If you are interested in volunteering to help, then please email chair@23rdbromleyscouts.org.

Thank you to Bromley Little Theatre

We’re incredibly grateful to Bromley Little Theatre for their generous support in providing tickets to the dress rehearsal of their current production, The Good Life. It was a fantastic evening of theatre, and we’re so lucky to have such a great local venue supporting our community.

Special thanks also go to all the parents and supporters who purchased tickets — your generosity helped us raise over £250 for our Scout Group funds! Every penny goes a long way in helping us continue to provide amazing opportunities and adventures for our young people.

Not only was it a brilliant performance, but it was also a thoroughly enjoyable way to support the group. Thanks again to everyone involved!
