A YOUNG Scout from 5th Frome Scouts, Owen Jones, is busy fundraising as he has been selected, along with five other Scouts from Frome, to go to the World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia in the summer.
They have organised a raffle to try and raise the final amount of money to pay for the trip.
Owen said, “My mum’s friend Lisa is on Coronation Street who plays Tinker (Beth). She donated the photo signed by the cast as her donation to my American trip, I am very grateful for what she has given me as it is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I’m getting really excited to try all the activities, especially white water rafting in the West Virginia mountains.
“Other great prizes in the raffle are a weekend stay in Devon, a day pass for four at Center Parcs, Frome Memorial Theatre voucher, and a prize donated by Asda.” If anyone is interested in buying a raffle ticket please contact kirstiejones@outlook.com
