The Group would like  to thanks all the scouts, parents, leaders other groups in our County that participated in the Annual Toy Mass held in Ballinlough Church on 5th December.  The final tally was 30 full bags of toys collected and these have now been distributed to charities and individuals within our own Scout County.  This event remains one of the more practical ways that we demonstrate keeping our scout promise by “helping other people”
