Do YOU want  to have some festive fun, whilst raising money for good causes?

If that answer’s a yes (and we hope it is)  then we ask  Scouts, family, friends &  general members of the public for your help in making this Santa run an event to remember.

We are the Potters Bar International team, raising money for scouts going on an expeditions to Africa & to the world scout Jamboree in 2015; and we are  hosting a 5K Santa dash through Potters Bar on Sunday 7th December – 10:00 am  – 13:00 pm 

You enter yourself – we supply the santa suit, finishers medal and race number. The remainder of your entry fee will go to supporting the scouts so they can partake in these expeditions.

All that’s left for you to do is  to get some sponsorship – and then make it to the finish line –  and  raise some vital money for a cause that is special to YOU.

Early Bird offer: Tickets are £12.50  until 1st November

Tickets will be £15 thereafter

Santa’s little helpers (children under 11 yrs) – £3

You are invited to fun and activity filled weekend of camping , where members of the group can camp accompanied by parents, brothers sisters etc.

It will give family members a taste of the scout ‘experience’ – introducing them to the methods of the association and strengthening the links between Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.

Each family will camp as a family, but cooking (and eating) will be done centrally – as will the activities of which there are many

There are numerous activities planned over that weekend – some of the ones available are: orienteering, pioneering, canoeing, craftwork, pedal cars, photo hunt, bungee run and many more.

You may camp in your own tent as a family, but don’t be put off if you do not own a tent as the group are able to lend you one. Tolmers campsite is at the end of Tolmers Road in Cuffley (about 15 mins drive from Potters Bar) and is about 100 acres of prime camping grassland with a little bit of woodland

This Family camp is also a bit more special than other ones as we will be celebrating our 75th anniversary as a scout group with a lamb & pig roast evening. This will involve a reunion of past & present members and leaders, as well as games for the younger members.

An evening not to be missed!
