So to up date you guys, I've managed to complete my fundraising to cover the cost of my journey to the World Scout Jamboree (just over £2,000). So now I am trying to gather some money to buy some equipment for myself and my unit, but more on that later.
In December my unit had a meeting where we learnt some Japanese and gave each other our secret Santa presents. I gave Ed a chocolate Santa, which said Merry Christmas Ed and I received light up Santa earrings. We also ran a fundraising stall at a local school fete to raise money for our unit. Here are some photo's from the weekend!
More recently our unit had a weekend where we focused on working in our patrols which we will be in for the actual Jamboree, exciting! We went dragon boating at Longridge (my local water activity centre) which was great fun! Instead of talking for ages about what we did here are some photos to sum up the weekend.
One of the most hard but cool things we did over the weekend was write the name of our unit 'BeKeHaBu' with lights. This took more attempts than I can remember but the final result is amazing!!!
The weekend was great fun and our next one is a monopoly run in April, which should be great fun.
Now as I mentioned earlier, I have finished my fundraising to pay for the set cost of the Jamboree, however there is still some equipment I would like to buy not only to benefit myself but my Jamboree unit too. One major thing that could be quite difficult to do in the middle of a Jamboree site is washing clothes. When researching this, I came across a magnificent invention called a Scrubba bag. This bag is especially designed to be light weight and wash your clothes to a washing machine quality. Instead of explaining here's a video on what its about and what is does.
I have set up a GoFundMe page to try and raise funds to buy one of these bags for my once in a life time trip. If you have any money you could possibly donate at the top right of my page there is a GoFundMe button. Any donations are welcomed whether its 1p or £5 every donation helps.
