Fundraising Ideas

After finding out that I have been selected for the IST/JPT Team for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, and the giddiness has subsided for the time being, I have had to sit down and get some ideas together about how I was going to fundraise £2,800 to be able to go and support the major event.

Sitting down and doodling on a piece of paper soon became a waterfall of ideas for fundraising with a load of different ideas.  I have decided that I will pay for the deposit out of my own money (with the help of my Mum and Dad) and then I will complete some of the following, if not all of them, to get the remaining £2,300.

Below are my ideas for Fundraising.  If anyone reading this are stuck for ideas, you are more than welcome to use any of them:

• Easyfundraising Accout:

• Write to Local Companies/Colleges
• Car Boot Sale
• Coffee Morning
• Christmas Tree Sale
• Sponsored Events
• Jumble Sale
• Donations
• £50 Wall
• Camp Sale
• Raffle
• Spa Night
• Treasure Hunt

Above are just some of the ideas I have, but I do have a few more that will hopefully be used.  The Contingent do put something in the Local Press for me about donations from different people and I am sure that my District will help to support me in the run-up to the Jamboree.
