In March 2012, the 6th Walsall Scouts group suffered a terrible burglary, in which they lost over £7,000 worth of vital equipment and were threatened with closure as a direct result.
However, instead of accepting defeat, this brave young group of beavers, cubs and scouts decided to stand up and fight for their beloved group’s right to exist. They set about running various fundraising events and were even able to raise money for an orphanage in Africa in the process!
This book of Olympic 2012 poetry is just one of the fundraising projects undertaken by this vibrant group of youths, and is a testament to their tenacity, aspiration and creativity.
It is also a testament to the community spirit and generosity amongst our local business owners in Walsall and the Black Country, who so kindly supported the 6th Walsall Scouts, with their time and generous donations. And we thank you all for this.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the 6th Walsall Scouts group, ensuring their continued growth, from strength to strength; as well as to other charities.
We thank you for your support, in purchasing this poetry book and hope you enjoy the creativity of our children and local poets.
