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\u2019s not just money we get given to us, but equipment as well.<\/p>\n
I popped up to see the Beavers and Cubs last night and one of the helpers came up to me and said he\u2019d got a laptop to give to us! Now this isn\u2019t the most up to date model, in fact I guess it\u2019s over ten years old, but it works and the battery in it isn\u2019t too bad (i.e. it actually runs on the battery!). It has MS Office installed and is usable.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019ve brought it home to check it out and other than a few minor \u2018tweaks\u2019 it will be going back to the Hall for the Beavers and Cubs to use on their meeting nights.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll 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!<\/p>\n
So a great donation, and one that will prove most useful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
