Yes, it’s just a week since Jumble Sale Day and the site is almost back to normal. Jumble 2024 was a great success thanks to the many volunteers who helped during the weeks before as well as on the day itself.
We raised sufficient funds to keep the Group active for another year, delivering top-rate scouting to all of the young people at 1st Northwood.
