CHRISTMAS POst

The 89th Reading Scout group are looking forward to delivering your cards and helping the local community to save money this Christmas.

 

You can find our bright red Scout post boxes across Caversham in the following locations:

Budgens (Emmer Green)

Caversham library

Co-op (Henley Road)

Woodcote Way Stores (Caversham Heights)

Ela’s coffee bar (at Playhatch Garden centre)

Doctors surgeries at Emmer Green and Balmore Park

St Andrew’s church, St Barnabas church, St John’s church, St Peter’s church, Gosbrook Rd Methodist church and Caversham Heights Methodist church

and at our 89th Scout HQ.

 

Each card costs 45p to post (which is half the price of a second class stamp).  The boxes are open from Saturday 29th November until the end of Thursday 18th December and the post will be sorted and delivered by beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers over the weekend of 20th and 21st December.

​

Each year we use this opportunity to raise money for the benefit of both the community and the scouts at the 89th.  Funds raised from recent xmas post campaigns have funded a community defibrillator, large tents for scout camps and a workshop for Branching Up (who provides work experience placements for adults with learning disabilities).

 

This year we are raising money to provide support, and make it more accessible, for our scout group (beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers) to participate in the week long international jamboree in Windsor (WINGS) in 2026.
