Why We’re Fundraising

Attending an international Scouting event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our young people. It teaches leadership, resilience, and global citizenship. By selling, buying, or grabbing a bacon roll at our car boot sale, you are directly reducing the cost for local Scouts and Explorers to attend these incredible overseas events!
