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.

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

Last week the cubs paid a visit to the local library in Goldthorpe as part of their Book Reader Activity Badge They had a great time as they learnt about the difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction. They discovered where to look in the library for a dictionary and how to use a thesaurus. They found out how the library catalogues their books so that you can find them easily and how you should care for your books so that they last a lifetime. The next stage in this badge is for the cubs to read 6 books. They should be able to name the authors and be able to tell the other cubs about the books they have read. Thanks very much to the staff at the library for showing our cubs the ropes!
