Send Us To Switzerland

Last weekend James and Theo, with help from Max, did an excellent job at 2 events. The Tomahawk throwing was very popular, even the police got involved.

  Our young people continue to show real commitment and initiative as they work towards making the Suisse27 trip a reality. As part of their fundraising efforts, they have been actively applying for grants and seeking support from charitable organisations. We are delighted to share that the team has been pledged £400 from the Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust in support of the trip. This generous contribution is a wonderful boost to the fundraising campaign and a testament to the value others see in this opportunity. The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust supports young people and projects that reflect Jeremy’s passions in life — adventure, the environment, geology and athletics — with a particular focus on expeditions and activities that offer social, educational or community benefit. Their support for youth-led adventurous projects makes their encouragement especially meaningful for Suisse27. The grant will be received in early 2027 , marking an important milestone in the journey to...

Over the last month Amiya and I have spent a few hours helping our uncles with their gardens. We have dug up broken fences, broken down an old shed and put a new one in ita placws. Cut grass, trimmed hedges and weeded flower beds.  I really enjoyed it. I love working outside  Amiya and me have different strengths so did different things, she was better at destroying things and i was better at the weeding and tidying.   We have raised lots more money for our Suisse27 pot.

  On the 30 th  of March all 4 of us met at my house to work on things to raise more money, we started by planting some seeds such as sun flowers, peas and tomatoes. Over 130 of them! We potted them in the green house and put them on the windowsill for some sun.  The Max-got , Amiya and Theo made 54 paracord key rings to sell a £1 each so hopefully that’s 54 extra pounds in the pot.  Whilst they were doing that Iyla and I sorted some metal pipes in to brazed coper (with solder), brass , aluminium, stainless steel and “I don’t know” piles all to be weighed in at the scrap yard . So, by tiding some of Dad’s work waste we can add to our fundraising total (and make mum happy by getting rid of it!). Fingers crossed it’s a lot!   James

  Hello, Theo here! This month, it’s my turn to write the blog, so here goes... In case you are wondering what’s going on, then here’s a brief reminder. We (Iyla, James, Amiya and I) are all hoping to go on a two-week trip to Kanderstag in Switzerland in August 2027 to the International Scout Campsite. We’re really looking forward to meeting other Scouts from around the world, as well as taking part in some amazing activities in a beautiful location. From hiking in the mountains, to visiting a glacier and white-water rafting on a local river, it’s an action-packed adventure all the way (not to mention we’ve heard there’s good chocolate in Switzerland!). Obviously, an adventure like this comes with a price tag, and to raise funds for our trip we’ve got a busy schedule of events and activities across the next fifteen months. We’re going to be attending a lot of fetes and fairs, selling lots of items we’ve made, or have decided that we no longer need, or have had donated. We’ll be att...

We are working hard to get ready for a table top sale on the 21st of March . Please come and support us. Thanks From Amiya
