Let's Go Camping! - Thanks to the People's Postcode Lottery

By Unknown

From September 2014, Goldthorpe Scout Group is prepared for Camp.


Thanks to a generous funding boost from the People's Postcode Lottery, Goldthorpe Scout Group can enjoy the great outdoors with the funding from this grant to purchase much needed camping equipment.

The 6th Barnsley (Goldthorpe) was awarded £1915 by People’s Postcode Trust, a grant-giving charity, funded entirely by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

The organisation has used the money to deliver outdoor camps and events for our ever growing Scout Group.

With numerous sleepovers, camps and events planned for 2015, all our young members from 6 to 14 years, will be able to have a fabulous adventure, making use of all the fantastic equipment made available from this grant.

People’s Postcode Lottery is a charity lottery, where players play with their postcodes to win cash prizes while raising money for good causes. As a charity lottery, 50p from every £2 ticket goes to support charities and good causes across England, Scotland and Wales, including People’s Postcode Trust. People’s Postcode Lottery believes in supporting local communities so the money raised stays local to players.

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

By
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!
