Burgled

I was saddened and annoyed to hear that one of the Groups in our District had their Scout hut broken into just before the weekend and had some tents and lamps stolen.

Luckily for the Group, this is more of an inconvenience than anything else, but that is not point. The running costs of their building will increase (insurance etc.), which means that less money raised for the Group will be spent directly on the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

But what annoys me most is that they are targeted by thieves whose sole intention is making a couple of easy quid by selling the stuff down the pub (although I doubt they’d get that much cash).  I guess it doesn’t enter their stupid heads that by focusing on community based groups like the Scouts, they could cause some of them to close and potentially condemn young people to have no activities outside school or hanging around on the streets.

Hopefully the police will catch these ‘naughty people’.
