Group Scout Leader Jonathan Bloor was delighted to announce that the Scout Post, held throughout December, had been an enormous success.
On behalf of the 175 Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who are members of the 4th Ashby Scout Group he announced "Thanks to our customer, the people of Ashby, Packington and Smisby and especially to our partners who act as post-offices we have raised over £1,200 whilst providing a useful service".
Almost 5,000 cards were sorted into 53 rounds and then delivered by families during the lead up to Chrismas. The Scout Post has been run by 4th Ashby since 1982.
