How can I pay in my fundraising?

There are a few ways to pay in your fundraising:

  • Use your Scout’s unique reference code and pay online. Account No. 25917668, Sort Code: 77-85-67 And then email Gez to confirm. Remember, badge sale fundraising should be paid in separately using the BF reference code.
  • If you cannot pay via online banking please hand a cheque or cash to Gez at the start of a Unit meeting.
  • If you have received a cheque for individual fundraising efforts send to Gez with your Scout’s unique reference code and name on the back. (See Google Drive banking details document for more information).
  • District fundraising: reference all the individuals and email Gez to confirm. If there are too many to reference, name the payment after the district and email Gez to explain and reference.

What is the payment schedule for Unit 79?

What is Plant a Tree for Jamboree (JamboTree)?

Unit 79 would like to be as green as possible. We’re reducing our waste with Cash4Cans and Cash4Clothes (see How can I help fundraise at no cost to ourselves?) and we’d also like to make a positive impact on the environment by planting trees and offsetting our carbon footprint for our Jamboree journey.

The Unit would like to offer trees for sale, including a cane and plastic spiral to prevent rabbit and deer damage, at £10.00 each. We will place a tag with the name of the sponsor onto the tree and provide information where the tree has been planted.

We are also looking for suitable land to plant trees as we have a limited availability at the moment, so if you have any contact who would be willing to have trees planted, please get in touch with Richard at richard.berry@birminghamscouts.org.uk

Take a look at the Support Our Unit page for more information.
