Fundraising

The 1st Midsomer Norton Scout Group is a registered charity, run by a team of dedicated volunteers. We rely on donations and fundraising, along with our members subscriptions, to keep the Group running and ensure Scouting in Midsomer Norton is affordable for all.

We are known for our regular jumble sales, the Christmas post and many other small projects that take place throughout the year.

Sadly at this time we have no plans to resume our Jumble Sale.  This is due to many reasons, but largely the costs of running these has become too high at this time.

Keep an eye on our new news pages and Facebook etc for updates on other fundraising events and activities.

In the meantime you can deposit clothing and shoes in the big blue thing at the front of the hall.

We can of course take card donations via Wonderfull.org
