Wantage & Grove Scout Christmas Post is back in 2022!

Date: 14th Nov 2022 Author: Tracy Thomas

After 2 years, we are pleased to say that Wantage and Grove Scouts are back with their local Christmas card delivery service in December. Postage is still only 30p per card and payment along with the cards should be posted directly into the one of the Scout post boxes located in: Charlton Post Office (Barnards Way), Campbells Opticians, Charlton Garden Centre, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Wantage Health Centre, Smiths DIY Grove and Co-op Grove. We are most grateful for the continuing support of these local companies who allow us to site our post boxes on their premises.

The cards are delivered by hand by members of the local Scout groups. This year, we will be delivering to Challow along with Wantage and Grove. Cards to any other surrounding villages will not be delivered and will be sent for recycling. Boxes will be in place from 12pm Saturday 26th November to 5pm Friday 16th December.

HM King Charles III has been confirmed as our new Patron, a great honour for UK Scouts.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
