As a Unit, we should always be keen to volunteer and to show our worth around the District and the local community.
So, if we are asked to help at a troop meeting, at an event, at a fireworks night etc it may be late notice, possibly last minute but wherever possible, we’ll try to do it.
Please be aware that there will always be late additions to the programme as well as changes to it.
There will be lost of fundraising events thrown in.
If you don’t receive the emails then please send one to and I will update my records but it could be worth checking your junk/spamemails.
If you any urgent queries on the day then you can always call me on 07977 185981
(but do please remember that I work and won’t always answer).
Thanks, Dan.
