The Cinderella cast, made up of 30 amazing young people from across our group and our friends in the Brownies, had an absolute blast!

It’s been incredible to see the impact this panto has had on our young stars – their confidence, self-esteem, and the friendships they’ve built have been so heartwarming to witness.

Putting on a show like this takes a lot of hard work, and we want to thank EVERYONE involved for their dedication and enthusiasm.

We’re thrilled to share that this year’s panto raised an incredible £3,900 – a new record!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support us! We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!

See you next year on the Yellow Brick Road!

The group are delighted to once again be putting on a Gang Show and tickets are now on sale!

The Gang Show will be on Saturday 1st February 2025, with performances at 4.00pm and 7.00pm.

Tickets for the two performances can be booked at the following links:

• Afternoon Performance – 4.00pm

• Evening Performance – 7.00pm

The Gang Show is an opportunity for all of the sections within the group (young people and leaders!) to get on stage and perform a song, comedy sketch, poem or dance to entertain the crowd. We are delighted that we will once again be joined by the Brownies who will be taking part in the Gang Show for the fourth time.

As well as being an entertaining and fun event for all, it is also a great fundraiser for the group. All tickets cost £7.00 (including Eventbrite Fees).

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.
