Well done to 1st Richards Bay Scout Group who once again shared some Christmas Cheer with Fishermen who are far away from their loved-ones.  On the 24th of December the Scouts were out and about in the Port of Richards Bay delivering their “Christmas Mugs” to every sailor on every ship in the Port.

The Christmas Mugs were filled with an assortment of goodies, playing cards, key rings, bottle openers, sweets, giant lollipops, crisps, biscuits etc .. “Amazing what you can get into a coffee mug when you put your mind to it. ” says Group Scouter Liz Scateswood. “Thanks to everyone who contributed to our Annual Christmas Project now in its 10th year ensuring that no sailor, far away from home and family wakes up on Christmas morning without a pressie.”

Travelling by Fire Engine and ably assisted by the 2 fire men a great time was had by all.
