Today the customers in the Ware branch of Tesco were able to have their bags packed for them. All that was required was - specific instructions, if they had a preferred pattern to the contents of their bags, or else the willingness to take pot luck and trust the Scout to make a good judgement, patience and a small donation!
In partnership with the Spinal Research charity, three teams of Leaders and Scouts spent the day assisting locals and enjoying, once again, helping the community. Many people commented on the cheerful attitude of the Young people, reminisced about their times in Scouting or Guiding, asked whether getting involved as a leader meant you had to be there every week (High Wych - look out for an enquiry from a new leader) and one man commented that 3rd Ware always used to beat his old Scout Group in competitions. He went to 1st Wormley Scouts.
Many thanks to Tesco for allowing us to do this and to the checkout staff who chatted to the Scouts, encouraged them and even introduced them by name to the customers - also to all those who allowed us to pack their bags and gave generous donations. Thanks the Young people who gave up their Saturday to help their local community and must of enjoyed it because some even returned for a second shift!
