Camp and uniform funds in the bag for East Kirkby scouts
The group wrote to Sainsbury’s in Mansfield asking if they could take part in a bag pack, where customers had their shopping bagged up in exchange for a donation.

“There were older scouts teaming up with younger ones and helping each other out.”
“One of the boys was even stood in the foyer wishing everyone a good afternoon, which was lovely.”
