Tea House
Thanks to all that supported us when we were fundraising
at the Tea House on 5 November. We made about £100 for group
funds and collected an amazing £325.19 for the Poppy Appeal. We were joined by William
and Ella from Beavers, Aiden, Aaron, James and Finlay from
Cubs, Chris, Sophie, Rhys, Liam, Tom, James and Matthew from
Scouts and Abi and Rob from Explorers.
South East Berks Gang Show
We're pleased to report that members from 2nd Bracknell
Scout Group are participating in this years South East Berks
Gang Show being held at South Hill Park during half term. If
you'd like to attend, tickets are available from the box
office on 01344 484123 or take a look at the South Hill Park
web site.
Don't forget us when you are shopping for a bargain
Do you frequently shop online for groceries, gifts,
books, clothes, toys, holidays, hotels, mobile phone
contracts, insurance, or just order a Pizza or rent a movie
on a Friday night? If so, you can now earn a commission for
us when you shop online with 1000 retailers from the
convenience of your own home at no extra cost to you.
In order to earn us commission with your online shopping,
simply click through to a retailer’s website from our eStore,
spendandraise.com/2ndbracknell. You'll briefly see a
page which tells you that you’re leaving Spend and Raise and
entering the retailer’s website. After that, you browse and
shop as usual. If you make a purchase, commission is
generated and given back to our eStore. To find out how much
commission you can earn for each retailer, visit the
‘Retailer A-Z’ on the site. Remember that it can sometimes
take a few days for the commission to show in our shop.

2nd Bracknell Active Support
In line with national policy, our Fellowship has now
been re-branded as Scout Active Support. Details of our future events are included in the
group diary with instructions on how
to reserve a place on our
Active Support page.
Barry's bus
Barry Smith was Akela at 2nd Bracknell for over 30
years. You can see our
tribute
to him online and him in action via our Past Events page. When he died in 2005 he left the group some money
which we used to buy a minibus.
Barry's programme was always full of trips out with small
groups to the seaside and museums so we think he'd approve.
If our group isn't already using
it we are happy to hire our minibus to other local Scout or
Guide groups. For more information please complete our
enquiry form.

Thanks to around 75% of the group that have registered their
Subs payments for Gift Aid we claimed £1146 in 2007. That's
the equivalent of 2 Christmas Fairs, 5 sponsored walks
or 10 jumble sales. It's easy money for us so if you haven't
registered for Gift Aid - or would like to check whether
you have or not, please see the Gift Aid e-note or contact our
Treasurer.
Join Us
We are always
pleased
to receive offers of adult support - whether
on a regular or occasional basis. If you would like to help
please contact your leaders or see our "Join
Us" page. You can get involved at whatever level
you want - from one night a term to becoming a uniformed
leader and helping every week. We also have vacancies behind
the scenes on our Group Executive Committee.
Getting
in touch
We've made it easier for you to remember the e-mail
addresses of the leaders. We hope that the
2ndbracknell.co.uk web address is straightforward and easy
to remember. You can e-mail the leaders @
2ndbracknell.co.uk rather than having to remember their
complicated addresses. If you can't remember the correct
address you can go to our Contact
us page and send us a message via our
enquiry form.
