Fundraising

Throughout the year, we actively take part in fundraising activities, both to raise money for our Group, and also to raise money for others. To find out about our upcoming fundraising activities, have a look at our upcoming events.

To work with the Scouts on a fundraising activity, or to invite members of 1st Highworth Scouts to your event, please contact us and a representative will get back to you.

If you wish to make a donation to the Scout Group, please contact our Treasurer, by emailing treasurer@highworthscouts.org.uk.


Highworth Scarecrow Trail

The annual Scarecrow Trail was held between 5th – 21st April 2025.

We had an incredible 60 scarecrows submitted this year and our trail has raised a fantastic sum of close to £800 which will benefit the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts of 1st Highworth. 

Our thanks go to;

  • Print Clever for the printing of our trail booklets. 
  • The Highworth, Weigh it Up, Andrews Quality Meats and The Emporium for donations of prizes.
  • Allen & Harris, The Saracens Head and Visit Highworth for selling our trail booklets.
  • Businesses within the High Street area who hosted Scarecrows created by our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts

Everyone else who created a wonderful scarecrow and/or purchased a trail booklet.

The winning scarecrow was voted as number 56 which was Three Little Kittens.

1st place went to The Hares Family and our lucky dip was awarded to Maureen L.
