Christmas Bag-packing at the Co-op, Park Farm (late December 2017)

22nd April 2018 by suetyrer

As one of the Co-op Local Causes in the Community (https://membership.coop.co.uk/causes/16181/), we rang up the Co-op at Park Farm to ask if we could do some bag-packing at Christmas and were blown away when Dan, the Manager, offered us any day we liked in the run-up to Christmas, as part of his store’s support for us.  What a decision to have to make!  In the end we opted for Saturday 23rd December 2017 and asked our Scouting families for volunteers.  Although it was a late request we had enough Beavers, Cubs and Scouts (and their Mums and Dads and brothers and sisters) to cover the whole day.

What a day we had – chatting to the customers telling them about our historic Scout Group and our goal of buying the Methodist Hall as a permanent base in the village.  We had massive support from the shoppers there, some of whom were from ex-Scouting families (including a good number from the 63rd) and village locals pleased to hear our plans.  With their generosity we raised an astonishing £657.89 for the Scouts’ Hall Fund!  This was way beyond our wildest dreams and a great end to the fund-raising year.

Many thanks go to the Scouting families who bag-packed and held the collecting buckets near the door – you were awesome!

Special thanks go to Dan (Manager) and his team at Co-op Park Farm for making us so welcome.

8th August 2019 By suetyrer

Persistent rain meant that the field day had to be in the hall instead of on Deans Field as planned. Everyone pulled together getting everything ready for the 11 am opening time. The tea and coffee were moved to the John Bentley room along with the Tommy Silhouette. The Blood bike arrived and the local […]

Our Fundraising Campaign

Since the decision was taken in February 2015 to buy the Methodist Church for the continued use of the 63rd Derby Scout Group and the village, we have been thinking about the best ways to raise the money for this ambitious project. Let us tell you about our fund-raising campaign, and some ways in which you can help us achieve our goal... Over the coming … Read More >>
