In 2011 the nominated charity for 10th Romsey Scout Group was ShelterBox

During the year all sections undertook fundraising activities from a Sponsored Silence by our Beavers to a Family Fun Day run by our Cubs and Scouts.

We have been able to buy 3 Shelter Boxes with the money raised in our Group. These boxes are yet to be deployed to a disaster area but you can keep an eye on their progress at the ShelterBox website.

Thanks to everyone who supported our ShelterBox  fundraising events.

HRH The Duchess of Cambridge has become Scouting’s newest volunteer and will help in her local area with cub packs and beaver colonies.
