It’s less than 8 weeks until the next fund-raising event on Saturday the 22nd November which will be the Group’s “Christmas Fair”. Please put the date in your diary so you can attend, have some fun and buy some bargains!
Could we please just remind you that we would be very grateful for any donations of unwanted gifts or nearly new items of toiletry/jewellery items and complete toys and jigsaws which can be delivered on a weekly basis to the HQ when your son/daughter goes to their Scout meeting.
All monies raised at this event will go directly to the Group Funds which are used for the maintenance of the HQ and general running of the Group.
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.
Well done to Josh and Jonny from the Explorer Unit who collected their Jack Petchey achievement awards last week – both were nominated for all their hard work and dedication as Young Leaders at Beavers.
You’re invited to our AGM! Friday 19th September @ 7:45 for 8pm Scout HQ, Homemead Road, Bromley, BR2 8BB
All parents, friends, and supporters of the Group are warmly welcome. There will be a short meeting followed by light refreshments.
We’d love to see you there!
We’re also looking for new Trustees and a Secretary (mainly to take minutes at meetings). Interested? Please contact Colin Goodwin at chair@23rdbromleyscouts.org
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!
A huge thank you to the amazing Explorers who gave their time and energy to help out at the St Christopher’s Fun Walk on Sunday! It was a scorcher of a day, but that didn’t stop them from doing a fantastic job with marshalling and keeping things running smoothly. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, the event raised over ÂŁ150,000 for a brilliant local cause. We’re so proud to have such dedicated young people in our community!
