New minibus for Watford Scouts group
Watford scouts were the lucky recipients of a brand new minibus last week said to be worth over £15,000. It now means the group can enjoy more exciting trips with their new wheels.
A local charity, West Herts Charity Trust, which was set up by a group of local businessmen made the kind donation to the 72nd Watford Scouts association last Thursday.
Up until now the Scouts had had to rely upon parents and volunteers and hire vehicles to provide transport for the group when they embarked on trips. Now they have the freedom to go off whenever they like thanks to the generous donation.
The chairman of the Watford Scouts, Robin Wardley is over the moon with the new vehicle and said: “We’ve wanted a minibus of our own for quite some time but never had the money to pay for one. Thanks to this amazing generosity we can now go on more trips and travel further afield”
Mr Wardley added that the Scouts usually manage to fundraise approximately £3,000 a year themselves, but would never have been able to afford a brand new minibus without the help of the West Herts Charity Trust.
