A team of volunteers, along with their children, will sort and deliver all cards by Christmas Eve. Please ensure cards are clearly addressed, including a house name or number, and include the postcode if possible – this is especially helpful in rural areas. Most volunteers will begin deliveries after the final sorting session, so please allow sufficient time for your cards to reach their destinations.
All profits from the Christmas Post go directly to the Scout Groups involved, helping to support Scouting activities across the local area.
