Week Ending 12.06.10
Community Service
Twenty-five bin bags of rubbish, along with a rusty bike, a car numberplate and a road sign were cleared up by the 6th Scouts during a community clear up on 4th June. The scouts set to work with gloves and litterpickers and have made a big improvement to the paths and grass of Gourock’s Darroch Park. Thanks to staff at Inverclyde
Council for the loan of equipment.
Community Service? Smokin’!!!!!
A group of Scouts from the 85th Inverkip & Wemyss Bay hit the jackpot last weekend when they turned up to do some community service at the Greenock Cut Centre near Inverkip. The 18 Scouts hardly noticed the hard work they were doing as they spent the day clearing and burning the debris from a clump of trees that had been felled recently. They had a great time feeding a bigger fire than they have ever been able to build before. The troop would like to thank Paul, Judy and the staff from the centre for arranging and running this activity.
