Supporting the UK Solidarity Fund.

My name is Alex and I have been selected to represent Rutland at the 24th World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, USA in 2019! I am very proud to be representing my District and I will be one of the youngest Scouts attending from the UK.

This is an amazing opportunity to spend 2 weeks with Scouts from all over the world - a 'once in a lifetime' experience. My fundraising will also support the UK Solidarity Fund which pays for Scouts in developing countries to attend the Jamboree.

I have been busy running cake stalls, doing bag packing, selling home-made items at craft fairs, painting fences, selling old toys, delivering leaflets and mowing lawns but I still have a mountain to climb! This is especially challenging for me as a 13 year old with limited ways to fundraise independently.

If you can spare even £1, it will go a big way into making this trip a dream come true. With the help of local businesses I will also be running events in the Northamptonshire area, so please keep checking by for the latest update and event you can attend.
