All adults at the 224 North London Air Scouts are volunteers, but that doesn’t mean Scouting is cost-free. We have bills to pay on our Scout Hut, we have equipment to buy and maintain for our camps and weekly meetings (including badges that the young people, and we have pay contributions to the Scouting Organisation to help with their running costs too.
We’ve only just started but once we get going, we’ll keep you up to date with how much we’ve raised.
So let’s keep the scheme growing and thank you to everyone who is already signed up.
If you are a parent and have another fundraising idea, please get in touch with us. All funding raised directly benefits our current scouts through new equipment and subsidised activities.
