The Easy Fundraising website links into thousands of on-line shops and suppliers, all of whom will make a donation to the Stornoway Beaver Scout Colony if you access their websites via Easy Fundraising.  It doesn't cost you anthing extra on your purchase as it is the shops and suppliers who make the donations.

Signing up couldn't be easier.  Visit the website by clicking on the link above.  Register your details with them and select "Stornoway Beavers" as the organisation you wish to support.  Then everytime you want to buy something on-line whether it be your weekly shop or renewing your car insurance, access the suppliers sites via the Easy Fundraising website and the Unit will get some money.  Some companies make a donation as a flat fee or as a percentage of the value of the purchase (upto 15%).   For example if you get your weekly shop from Tesco On-line they will donate £2.50 (that's £130 a year for nothing!) or renewing your Car Insurance on-line can generate a flat fee of between £30 and £50.

Please circulate this as widely as possible to friends, family and work colleagues.  Remember it doesn't cost you anything to do this but means a lot to our Beaver Scouts.

 

Thank You!

A big well done to Otter (Sandie) on the completion of her Basic Food Hygiene course. Although this isn't a required certificate for Leaders it was felt that Leaders would benefit from this useful course when it comes to planning any food related activities.

After mysteriously vanishing in March we are very pleased to report that our Geocache has been found safe and sound. On a recent walk Big Beaver and Brown Beaver had a little search around the area it was hidden in and, sure enough, found the cache thrown to one side. It would appear that somebody had decided it would be more fun to try and spoil the game. More fool them I guess.

 

The cache has now been restored to it's proper place and you can log on to www.geocaching.com and find the co-ordinates to join in the worldwide treasure hunting fun. You can also find our geocache page by clicking HERE

The 2012 scheme starts on Monday 12th March with final vouchers being given out on Sunday May 20th. .Our final total for last year was a fantastic 11033! 
WILL WE BEAT IT??

 

With your help we will. Please keep collecting all your Tesco vouchers for us and allow us to redeem them for new and exciting resources to challenge and support our Beavers as they grow and develop.

To all who will be collecting - thank you!
