IN August Explorer Scout Alice Smith will be going to South Korea as part of the Devon Scout contingent taking part in the World Jamboree there.  But first Alice has to raise a large amount of money to help defray expenses.  

A member of the Tedburn and Cheriton Scout Group, Alice is also a Young Leader.  

Fundraising through last year and into this has included a Big Breakfast in Cheriton Bishop, another in Drewsteignton Church, cake sales in Okehampton and a book sale at the Scout Hut in Cheriton Bishop. 

Alice says she enjoyed the breakfasts so much that she held another, with Scouts helping in the kitchen and serving, at Tedburn St Mary Village Hall on Saturday, January 14, when left over books were also for sale.  

As much as possible everything for the breakfast was local, the cakes were home-made, many by one of the Scouts who was helping in the kitchen that morning.

This time funds were split between Alice’s fund and the Tedburn and Cheriton Scout Group for its summer camp.
