Do you want to join us in making a difference? We are raising money in aid of the 2ND BOSTON SCOUT GROUP and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us and the community of Skirbeck.

Who we are?

The Scout group was set up in February 2020 to cater and support the local Skirbeck community in Boston (UK). We currently support over 50 young people and 12 Adults who all come from different Socio-Economic backgrounds in a deprived area of Boston. As a group we believe that Scouting helps young people develop physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually. The yearly programmes we provide are based around building confidence and self-esteem, learning important life skills and leadership skills, team building, outdoor adventure, education, all whilst being fun!

The impact of the pandemic on our Group.

However, due to the Covid Pandemic the group have been negatively affected both financially and through membership. This has resulted in the group only being able to stay open due to the generosity of local charities through the grants given. We have been unable to deliver our programmes during the past year and this has affected the opportunities that we have been able to provide the young people of Skirbeck. As a result, they have lost a year of adventure, developing new life skills, and socialising with their peers.

What are we going to do about it?

Therefore, the Leaders involved in the 2nd Boston Scouts (Skirbeck) will complete a Marathon hike on the 18th September 2021 from Boston to Skegness to raise funds for the group.

The aim is to raise as much money as possible to purchase new equipment, trips, and anything else that will benefit the young people involved in the group and the local community of Skirbeck.
All donations (however small) will be gratefully received.
