Dear all, please remember next week is Bob-A-Job week, and the cubs, scouts, brownies and guides will be calling door to door seeking gainful employment for money. I must stress that payment is required for all works carried out. We want to avoid last years fiasco whereby the whole of The Beckworth Brown Otter troupe was misappropriated for 10 days at a local sweatshop, and only found thanks to the bravery of the fire brigade. We are still awaiting payment for the troupe’s time and work completed pre-blaze. Still, wanting to find a silver lining amongst the debacle, all 33 boys did get their sewing and fire safety badges.

Thanks Tony Grimsby, Group Scout Leader
