Statement regarding Scout Community Week in Lincoln

“The well-known “Bob a Job” Week of old is to relaunch as Scout Community Week this year after a seventeen year break and scouts in Lincoln will be taking part.

“Scout Community Week is taking place from 14-20 May this year across the UK and I am proud to support it, particularly as scout groups in the Lincoln area are heavily involved. Scout Community Week will see Scouts from across the UK taking part in an array of tasks and projects to make a positive impact on the lives of local people. The Scout Association want your help in bringing these benefits to our community.

“The Scout Association wants your suggestions for projects you think Scouts in our area could do to make a difference. This could be creating a garden for a hospital or care home, litter picking in a local park or making useful individual items such bird boxes or bike racks.

“To submit your ideas please email community.week@scouts.org.uk or visit www.scouts.org.uk/scoutcommunityweek for further information on this great initiative.”
