Support for Scouting and Tree Planting
This event raises valuable funds to support scouting in our local area, providing life-changing opportunities to our Young-People. Scouting provides amazing opportunities to learn skills for life and we can't do this without the support of the community. Funds raised by events like this allow us to do these things as well as just provide day to day activities.
In the past three years, the Scout Group have planted more than 1000 trees in the local area, with almost 200 of those funded through Trees not Tees as part of the 5km and 10km. When entering, you can choose to replace your souvenir t-shirt with a tree, or add an additional tree to your basket if you would like both. This scheme provides an amazing opportunity to educate our Young People and help them to contribute to the local environment.
