Funds for Scouts

The Umina and Blackwall Scout Groups held their traditional Christmas raffle in December, which raised over $300.

Over the next several months, the group will be continuing to raise the $12,000 required to send 10 scouts to the 21st Australian Jamboree in 2007, to be held in Elmore, Victoria.

A sausage sizzle and drink stall at the recent Australia Day celebrations at Woy Woy run by the participating scouts and their parents also raised $1000.

The groups are looking for financial assistance as well as donations of prizes for use in its upcoming fundraising events, which include a trivia night, bingo night and numerous raffles.
