Fundraise as you shop – please do this


We’ll hear this week how much we raised on the litter picking, we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

In the meantine:

If every family does this and spends £250 on the internet between now and Christmas (including tesco, sainsbury’s, waitrose and asda), we would earn about £300 in a month ish. Just by sitting at a computer.

No effort fundraising:

We get a donation from hundreds of internet shops (all the big ones and many small ones) and it is so easy… you don’t need to register, fill in extra forms etc…

Simplest way

Go to our website: 5bs.org and click of the link at the bottom of the page

or look over there on the right… a big advert, just click click click >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

then just search the shop that you are buying from. It then sorts out all the payments etc…  why not bookmark our page for next time? Just use it as a portal to shop through.

Never miss an opportunity

Download and install the toolbar and it will make sure that you never miss a chance to donate to the 5th and it offers you bargains and deals from the shops you visit.

Click here to get the toolbar

Please take the time to do this. It’s free money for us. Sometimes the donations are quite significant – i bought a bike rack in June from Evans for £140 and in return, we earned over £5 . Lots of £30 purchases add up to lots of £1 donations.  It costs nothing to you.

Bargains

with the toolbar, i have the opportunity when i visit a page to click ‘yes’ to donate to the 5th. When i do that, it pings me first to a page of voucher codes etc that could save me money. It’s been rather useful on occasion.

Please give this a try. As we say, it’s free money.

Explorers Karting in Crawley

Brilliant night. Such good fun and something that Phil only runs every couple of years because it is expensive but 14 explorers piled into the minibus for a night of go karting.

Dave was the winner (beating his Dad)

 

Phil bagged second place

Rob was v chuffed to make it onto the podium in 3rd place

Check the Video of the prizegiving:

Explorers Fake Wounds Special Effects Night

We pinched an idea from the scouts but the explorers did it with rather less mess.

Robert gave Molly a cut down her arm

Tom’s arm was pretty messed up

Mike got into character with the make-up

Check out all the photos here and there is a link at the bottom for the full size pics.

Jamboree on the Internet all weekend at the hut

Thanks to our volunteer network techs, we managed to set up cat’s cradle of Ethernet cable (there is a joke in there about cat5 cable/ cat’s cradle but I’ve not had enough coffee to nail it)

image

We have 20 or so PCs set up for JOTI

image

As well as a raspberry pi or two to do an introduction to coding.

image

And we’ve got a brand new map to record all our contacts

image

this is the closest we had to a glamorous assistant.

I hope that we see all our beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers at the hut over the weekend to take part. All info is on our website about times etc

jamboree on the internet at the fifth – clicky

There is a webcam on there and a live map will be up.there to.record our contacts.

We have invited local troops to.take part too and all local leaders are v welcome. Please introduce yourself when you.arrive and we will alway have coffee brewing and the urn boiling.

Special thanks to Trinity School for their donation of 10 PCs last month. 

Explorers at MESH VIII

Our explorers joined 150 others from across the new Bromley Scout District for MESH VIII (Mixing Explorer Scouts Holiday).

First night at MESH Camp

10 explorers from our Vultures ESU have joined 150 other explorers from across Bromley for the annual Mesh Camp.

Camp was set up painlessly

they tucked into noodles for dinner

perfect explorer food, polystyrene pot with its own fork!

the welcome ceremony was by the csmpfire

And now they are all in the marquee watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Explorer Pizza Making

Last Wednesday, the explorers made their own pizza dough and toppings and they all made something edible! Check out the photos below for a really successful evening, they even got their dough to rise.

Maybe they just need a few more washing up lessons but this was a great night for the leaders and explorers.
