Success at Sainsbury’s

Sainsbury’s Bag Pack was a huge success.  Beavers, Cubs and Scouts from the Group took it in turns to pack bags in our local Sainsbury’s store on Saturday.  A total of 6 hours of packing has raised a fantastic £966.50 for our HQ re-development appeal.  Group Scout Leader Nicola Woodward said “This is a wonderful result and we are really grateful to Sainsbury’s staff and customers for helping us raise nearly £1000 towards our appeal.  The Scout Group are currently investigating options for a significant extension to our current headquarters building off London Road.”
The event was part of Sainsbury’s Community Week that runs from Wed 3 October to Tuesday 9 October 2007.  The week will also see a visit to the store by our Apollo Beaver Colony on Monday when the Beavers will get the chance to work towards their Healthy Eating badge.  Beaver Leader Chris Wells said “It was great to se young people from every part of the Scout Group helping on Saturday.  Sainsbury’s customers appreciated the help we were offering and thanked us generously.  The beavers are really looking forward to their visit to the store on Monday and we hope that most of them will come away with their Healthy Eating badge.”
