UK Scouts Deliver the Mail

By on December 19, 2011 in News

Great news story by the BBC – Scouts’ Christmas post raises money. In many areas of the UK, Scout Groups provide an alternative postal service for Christmas greeting cards and in turn raise money to support Scouting. The news story shows how it works in the Somerset area. (In a time of postal cuts here in the U.S., maybe this is an idea that could spread here and catch on!)
