To make this dream a reality, JJ is fundraising to cover the £1,550 cost of the trip. Every contribution—big or small—will help him take part in this unforgettable journey.
If you’d like to support JJ and help him represent 1st Mossley Scouts on the international stage, we’d be incredibly grateful.
Thank you for helping JJ take this big step in his Scouting adventure.
