Wendy Garrett, Rosemary Kelly and Fiona Littlejohn
Next meeting for the committee is Monday 16th December, when we confirm fundraising ideas for 2020
We are committing to raising £18000 which will help cover 50% of the trip.
If you round it up, it’s a £500 per Scout fundraising target, please set yourself this target.
If we make a surplus, we can put it towards hoodies, t-shirts, extra activities and general Scout funds.
Fundraising now
Fiona Litttlejohn has already raffled a gin calendar and raised £500
The GEC Scout committee have pledged £500 towards the trip.
We have set up a Virgin Giving Site to help everyone to raise money.
