Fundraising

Our fundraising activities are vital to ensuring we can offer high quality Scouting

Subscription fees cover the basic cost of providing a Scouting programme, but without additional fundraising we wouldn’t be able to maintain our excellent Scout Hut, the Binsey Boat Base or our extensive equipment stocks. Unlike many Scout Groups we are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of two sites, so this requires more than the funds raised through subscriptions.

We are always on the lookout for willing hands to help at our fundraising events. Whether you’ve got an hour or an afternoon, it all helps to maintain and extend the experiences we can offer our young people.
