Tonight the troop made a visit at the Shah Jalal Jame Mosque in Bristol and were shown around and given information by Rizwan. He had recently returned from Makah where he had taken part in the Hajj and we were shown a presentation and personal photographs of the Muslim faith. Following on from the OSR scouts troop working with Anne at Asda over at Abbeywood retail park we had an opportunity to fundraise and keep the scouts in the public eye. There were 2 sessions during the day, 1000-1300 and 1300-1600 hours. A great big thank you to the scouts and leaders that gave up some of their weekend to take part in the bag packing. We managed to collect £391.76 which considering Asda is a smaller store was a great achievement, this counts towards the scouts fundraising activity badge and the teamwork challenge award. Big thank you also to Anne for organising the event and spending 5 weeks with the scouts taking part in the Tool Box. Well what can I say, well done to Beth and Dan W for representing the OSR scouts at the District Quiz. There were 19 teams from across the district with teams or 4-7 scouts, 10 rounds of questions from Bristol to Disney to outlines of countries to go through. Also there was a joker that could be played at any one round giving extra points. Maybe next year we can enter a full team!
