Great fundraising effort to fuel the adventure for Goldthorpe Scouts

Piles of change - making a big difference

Beavers, Cubs, and their families with a little bit of help from the Goldthorpe Scout leaders put in great effort in their bag packing extravaganza at Morrison's Cortonwood today. From the moment the tills were open at 10am, we were helping keeping the customers flowing through and everyone even seemed to be having a bit of fun which was nice. There were lots of stories from folks who said "I used to be in the Scouts...we all had a great time", we enjoyed sharing their nostalgic moments whilst we filled the shopping bags. We had a change of crew at midday, and a new batch of Cubs came on the scene.

A whopping £763 was raised - top job to all those who gave their time to help ensure that we give Scouting in Goldthorpe a much needed cash boost!

Well done to you if you joined in today, it's great to see such support, please let your Beaver or Cub Scout know how well they did.

Goldthorpe Scout Section invests 10 new Scouts into its brand new Scout section

Goldthorpe's Scout Section It was with great pride that 10 new Scouts were officially invested into the Scout Section of the 6th Barnsley (Goldthorpe) Scout Group today. Just over 18 months ago, there was no Scout Group, and there had been no Scouts in Goldthorpe for over 12 years. Today marks a watershed moment, as 10 new Scouts were invested into a group alongside 21 Beaver Scouts and 26 Cub Scouts, with several on a waiting list to join and new enquiries all the time. The group is in great shape due to the persistence and determination of the parents who have all stepped up to play a role in supporting the group. In particular, thanks has to be made to our Assistant Group Scout Leader, Breeze (Andrea), who has worked across all 3 sections and kept me going in truly challenging times. I also make a special mention of our Treasurer, Mark Davis, and Cub Scout Leader Akela (Cheryl) and Thunder (Ricky) our Beaver Scout Leader who have risen to the challen...
