Blakeney Scout Executive Committee
On June 26th the committee together with cubs, scouts and beavers with their leaders held a Sale in the Scout HQ for Help for Heroes and we raised £651.65 for this very worthwhile cause.
Our grateful thanks to everyone who made donations, baked cakes and gave prizes for tombola, raffle and competition and all the items for sale. It was lovely to see the leaders, boys and girls in their uniforms helping with the competitions and raffle.
It was a great afternoon and we thank everyone who helped and supported the sale to make it the success it was. The cheque for £651.65 has been sent to Help for Heroes.
Our next fund raising event is the refreshments at the Regatta Sports on August 8th starting at 1.30pm. If anyone feels like baking a cake we would be very grateful. This event is towards our HQ maintenance.
