On Friday 29 August, the 3rd Parkes Scout Group were excited to have a visit from Mr Paul Hennessy, NSW Honorary Branch Commissioner and Deputy Chair of NorthWest Scout Fellowship.
The purpose of Paul’s visit was to deliver a donation to the group from the SOCKS (Scout Outback Community Kids Support) Program. SOCKS donates items of uniform to regional scout groups to help kids in the country who cannot afford uniforms, as the cost for some families can be difficult.
The program has supported a number regional Scout Groups so far which includes 3rd Broken Hill Sea Scout Group and 1st Kandos Scout Group.
