Story
1st Kingswells Scout Group as part of the overall scout organisation exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society.
Over the last few year our scout group, which cover all age groups - Beavers, Cubs and Scouts - has been expanding both in numbers and the extent of the activities that they undertake. The development, training and qualification of our leaders has created a greater opportunity for the children to participate in camps - whether overnight, over weekend or week long - and to do so further afield. To do so requires specific equipment from tents and benches to cooking utensils and mess tents. Equipment not owned by he group has to be hired. Numerous scout groups also have their own trailer to store and transport their equipment. While the group is self-sufficient in covering running costs over the year from subscriptions such capital expenditure will require additional support.
I would like to help generate some funds to assist in the purchase of such equipment. I am running the 10K in Aberdeen's new running event - the Great Aberdeen Run - which takes place on Sunday 27th August 2017, and am looking for support by way of sponsorship.
Starting and finishing on Union Street the run goest past theTown House and towards the Castle Gate before turning right down Marischal Street towards Aberdeen Harbour. At the 3k point near the Beach Ballroom the route will then head west and loop round Pittodrie Football Stadium. Into the second-half of the course, the route follows Park Road and crosses West North Street before eventually making their way past some of Aberdeen’s most iconic buildings in the head down Union Street to the finish line.

I am proud to act as Treasurer to the 1st Kingswells Scout Group. I run a couple of official 10k runs per year to fundraise - picking a different organisation or charity to raise funds for. This time I am seeking to do so for the Scout group.
