The cost
The overall cost is £795 which covers everything except getting to and from Heathrow. We will see if we can find any external funding, but obviously we can't promise this and wouldn't suggest you bank on the cost coming down any further.
We would not like to think that this cost would prohibit anyone from coming who wanted too, so whilst we can't make open promises here we will try and find individual assistance whenever possible, please don't be shy in talking to anyone of us confidentially if you wish.
We will collect this in four payments £195 now. Then £200 in Feb, £200 in April and then final payment of £200 in June. This would mean that we should have received £595 by the end of April, please.
What do you need to do?
Simply register you interest by filling out the form (available from the Leaders) and sending in your deposit of £150
Fund Raising
We are running a number of fundraising activities in the Spring Term to try and build up some credit for each Scout who takes part. This can be put towards our trip to Sweden or another activity.
We have already taken orders from a Seed catalogue, held a Beatle Drive and a Quiz evening.
There will be other events. The next will be bag-filling at a supermarket on Thurs. 21st, Fri. 22nd & Sat. 23rd April. We hope to raise at least £100 for each Scout going!
