More Leaders arealways needed to ensure that allchildren that want to join get thechance, and I would encourageanyone to have a go and visittheir local Scouts or Guides witha view to getting involved. Youreally won’t regret it.”Bob-a-job is back in a modern formatThe Scout association which scrapped Bob-ajobWeek over 20 years ago, amid health andsafety concerns, has reintroduced the scheme.To allay fears of the compensation culture,Scouts will undertake larger community basedprojects and the association has ensured thatthey comply with the existing regulations.The association expect over 140,000young people to take part in the revampedscheme across the uK.Scouts will once again be putting into practicetheir promises to help others .Traditionally Bob-a-job week took placeover the Easter term break, and would consistof car washing, gardening, shopping and otherodd jobs. Now there will be more adult participationwith the work being carried out duringthe lighter evenings and weekends.Just some of the projects which are underwayare: clearing the undergrowth along thebanks of the Grand union canal inHertfordshire; cleaning up the Trans-Penninecycle Trail in Derbyshire; building bird tablesfor dementia sufferers at a home in Eastleigh,Hampshire; clearing woodland on the Isle ofWight to encourage the bee population.a quarter of the money raised by the youngscouts will go to the Scout association and theremainder stays at a local level. Many scoutgroups, however, pledge their money to localcharities. With more than 2500 scout groupstaking part this year the association has setitself the target of getting all 7000 groupsinvolved in a three year time frame.Many people have fond memories of Boba-JobWeek, now its back in a modern format.YOUR LOCAL FAMILYBUSINESSA.
