Syston Scout Group have enjoyed the hot summer and has ended it with some great fundraising!
On the August bank holiday, Leaders, Helpers and members of the Group attended the Stapleford Miniature Railway open weekend in aid of LOROS. The group camped and put on an active display for the public to try their hand at some scouting skills such as making survival bracelets, tying knots, orienteering and a display about one of the oldest Scout groups in the world (Syston). During the weekend the Group raised money for LOROS in many ways which included selling souvenir badges for the weekend and entertaining the public with the band playing on the train. It was a fun and active weekend and even the rain didn’t stop them! The group raised from its activities £184 for LOROS, with the grand total of the weekend being in to the thousands.
