On Friday 27th (NOT this Friday) we will camp in cardboard shelters we have made (please bring a big cardboard box and some tape or lots of smaller boxes).
The charity Shelterbox provides help to people who have suffered from a disaster (and you would be surprised how many there are) by sending out large plastic boxes containing equipment that can help people - a strong tent, water purification kit, shovels, lights - things that enable a family to survive just after an earthquake, a flood or something equally as horrible.
At Boreatton we have had, over the years, cardboard box camps and have collected enough to provide several boxes. Some of our Explorers have just returned from Nepal which was helped in 2015 when they suffered a massive earthquake.
I will blog full details and a kit list next week but in the mean time get your sponsorship and we will spend the night in our cardboard city (just like the victims of a disaster before Shelterbox gets there) and if we raise £590 we have our own box to help people. You can do it Scouts!
