Delivering the Scout Christmas Post
We joined other members of the Scout Group to deliver Christmas Cards to just over 400 addresses in the village.
All Scouts that took part earned some more community service hours for their
Community Challenge, and bonus points for
turning out and delivering the Scout Post in such snowy conditions when even the Royal Mail were struggling with
deliveries.
