Arjan's fundraiser for Sikh Sanctuary at Gilwell Park (run by 13th Southall Sikh Scouts)

Arjan Matharu is raising money for 13th Southall Scout Group

Running 30 Miles in May 2026

The Purpose of Scouting is to promote the development of young people in achieving their full physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential as individuals, as responsible citizens and as members of the local, national and international communities. We help young people develop skills for life. The method of achieving the aim of the Group is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progressive training, based on the Scout Promise and Law, and guided by adult leadership. Fun and adventure is key to Scouting.

Story

What am I fundraising for?

Gilwell Park is known for its Scouting heritage. There are a number of activities including a Faith Walk, reflecting UK Scouts' commitment to inclusivity for people of different religions as well as those of no formal faith. There are a number of amazing places for a number of religions, however as of yet there is no sanctuary representing the Sikh faith.

The 13th Sikh Scout Group in Southall have been fundraising for the cause and I now want to personally help towards this!

What am I going to do?

As part of my personal Scouts challenge, I have challenged myself to run at least 30 Miles within the month of May! I have mapped out different routes, that are local to me and will be running these as often as I can! some times I will run twice as day as there are days where I train hockey where I am unable to go for a run! For example its 1.2 miles from my house to my grandparents, so will have tea with them and run back!
