Scouting for Funding
Scouting is proving to be more popular than ever with the recent formation of a new Scout Troop in Osbaldwick. The troop now has 14 keen members but their adventurous spirit is hampered by a lack of equipment. So Will Haigh and Jordan Myers were delighted to receive a cheque for £250 from local firm JH Shouksmith & Sons Ltd. John Miller, Managing Director said, ‘I have been involved in scouting all my life and I am delighted to help this new troop buy the camping equipment they need. But I can’t do anything about the weather!’ Ian Bruin, Scout Leader commented, ‘We hope other companies will follow Shouksmith’s lead and help these young scouts fulfil the adventure side of scouting.’ The Scout Troop meets every Friday at the Murton/Osbaldwick Scout Hut and is open to all children aged between 10½ and 14. |
