2010-10-10 – Earley Community Challenge Work

communityToday, the 5th Dartford Scout Group’s Earley Troop sent 15 volunteer scouts and leaders to the garden of senior members of the Dartford community who were no longer able to attend to their property.  Giving up their Sunday, the dutiful Earley scouts worked tirelessly in the autumn sunshine to clean out a neglected pond; mow, weed and clear an overgrown front garden; mow, strim, weed and clear the back garden; repair fencing and a gate; cut down unwanted trees, dig out troublesome roots, bag it all up and cart all unwanted debris to the front where most was also carted off to the tip and the rest left ready for collection. 

Well done lads, you’ve all earned credit towards your Community Challenge badge and I hope to present the first few very soon.
