MEMBERS of West Monkton Scout Group are to receive new tents and equipment following a successful fundraising campaign before Christmas.

The group raised £761 during two nights of bag packing at Sainsbury’s Hankridge Farm to fund the group’s new equipment – which will help cater for its growing numbers.

The group also received a visit from Cllr David Fothergill who awarded them a grant of £250 in recognition of the hard work from the section leaders in promoting the wellbeing and outdoor activities for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts.
