Over £1000 from Metrocentre Charity Barrow

The charity barrow at the Metrocentre yesterday was a great success, raising over £620 from the sale of raffle tickets. About a dozen members and supporters turned out to man the barrow throughout the day, and a huge thank you to them all. This amount will be matched up to £500 by LloydsTSB matched giving scheme, so the day raised in excess of £1120.

With the £400 from the Iceland Bag pack on 28th January, also matched by LloydsTSB, we have raised almost £2,000 in one month, thanks to the efforts of our fundraising team.

If you would like to help at future events, or be part of our successful fundraising team please email info@consettscouts.org.uk

Our next event is a bag pack at Iceland on 7th April.

Metrocentre Charity Barrow 25th February

As part of our fund raising efforts we have booked the charity barrow at the Metrocentre, located near the bus station, for Saturday 25th February.
We will be using the barrow to sell raffle tickets for our two raffles, and to raise awareness of our project to build a new headquarters.
We would be very grateful for parents and members who volunteer to spend some time on the stall during the day. All members will need to wear full uniform.
Please speak to your section leader if you are able to help out.

Derwentside i.DID Weekend

Derwentside Explorer Scouts have been visiting our sections to tell us about the i.DID Weekend.
i.DID is a district camp being held over the Jubilee weekend from 2 to 5 June 2012. There will be around 200 people camping from the six Groups in Derwentside; for the first time ever, this will include Beaver Scouts sleeping in tents.
The event promises to be a spectacular weekend, with many activities from archery to segways. For more information go to the district scout website.

New website for Consett Scouts

We have just updated our website.

The new look site includes information on our project to build a new headquarters, a new News page, where parents and members can sign up to get News emailed to them and a Google calendar, so you need never miss that event again.
