Scouts Receive Generous Donation from The Archers

Sutton Scout group received over £200 from the Ely Archers after their annual fundraising raffle.

Every November Ely Archers hold their annual Portsmouth archery competition; in which archers attend from numerous counties.

Every year, the club also hold a prize raffle, with funds being raised for a chosen charity.

Sutton Scout Group were proposed as the nominated charity, by the late Ely Archer Club Chair, Steve Johnson; who sadly passed away last October.

Last Friday, several Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Scout leaders joined Ely Archers for a have-a-go archery session, before being presented with the cheque. These funds will be put towards the groups ongoing fundraising for a new venue.
