As Scout Groups we rely on donations to keep us going. Whether they are directly from the parents or we get them by doing bag packing at the local supermarket. It’s not just money we get given to us, but equipment as well.
I popped up to see the Beavers and Cubs last night and one of the helpers came up to me and said he’d got a laptop to give to us! Now this isn’t the most up to date model, in fact I guess it’s over ten years old, but it works and the battery in it isn’t too bad (i.e. it actually runs on the battery!). It has MS Office installed and is usable.
So I’ve brought it home to check it out and other than a few minor ‘tweaks’ it will be going back to the Hall for the Beavers and Cubs to use on their meeting nights.
I’ll also take a printer up that I was given for the Group and now, if necessary, we will be able to write letters home at a meeting if necessary!
So a great donation, and one that will prove most useful!
