Bob-a-Job continues

Broken Bay Scout Group will be participating in the annual Scout Job Week from May 11 to May 17.

"In the good old days, it was referred to as Bob-a-Job week," fundraising coordinator Ms Judy Battese said.

"For over five decades, Scouts across New South Wales have lent a hand and undertaken projects in their local area for a just reward.

"Broken Bay Scout Group is one such group participating and offering their services to do a variety of jobs such as gardening, shopping, dog exercising or general cleaning.

"We encourage homeowners and businesses to become a part of this event."

Ms Battese said the aim was to give young Scouts a work ethic, provide the local community with inexpensive help and to raise some funds along the way.

"The funds raised will be used by the group to update equipment such as tents and canoes and to help fund scout activities such as camps," Ms Battese said.

"All money raised in the local community stays in the community, to benefit young people through the Scout youth program."
