Back Packing at Tesco

December 2011 What a great success we totalled £1960.00

Other than Ashford on the map, bag packing is our main fundraiser of the year. Each time we do it, we aim to break our previous total, so the pressure is always on!

Last year our total raised was £1680.00, which was excellent as the credit crunch was just about to bite. This year we are of course hoping to raise even more. We are always amazed by the generosity of the Sainsbury's customers.

We are a huge group and extremely lucky to have 2 mini busses, something which no other group in the district can boast. Tthe money raised only just covers tax, insurance, service and fuel for the year and still makes no provision for repacement. So you can see just how important this money is to us.

Bag packing is great fun and if everone does a slot, it is also a doddle. You get to talk to all kinds of people and everyone seems to have a scouting story to tell you while you pack their shopping.

We as Leaders rely heavily on full support from our members and you as parents, it is a busy time for us all, please keep an hour free to help us

Please support this event it has been a great success for a number of years now
