Thank you to Tesco, Beckenham for allowing our scouts to complete a bag pack on 15 May. Plus thank you to the scouts who came along.
I am pleased to say that no bottles of coke were placed on loaves of bread, nor bottles of bleach placed upside-down next to food items. Our scouts were very professional bag packers.
After two and half hours I did hear Luke saying “Have a good you and thank day.” I believe he had said the correct phrase so many times his mouth had given up.
I am delighted to say we raised £269.33. This money will go towards our summer camp. We are going to Bude in Cornwall. It is expensive to get the scouts to Cornwall, but it will be worth it as they cannot really go sea kayaking in Croydon or surfing in Beckenham.

Scafell troop held a very successful and productive supermarket bag pack on Thursday 17 September. Thank you to Tesco Elmers End for supporting us in this venture. We raised £178 towards our Scarefest Camp at the end of October 2015. As well as being a lot of fun for the scouts, it will also provide them with the opportunity to try many new things and will take place at Gilwell Park which is the home of scouting.
Well done scouts for helping your community and showing that scouts is an organisation to be proud of.
