Big Help Out 2024

Thank you for supporting The Big Help Out. 


The Big Help Out 2023 saw us bring the country together for the UK’s biggest ever day of volunteering. An amazing 7.2 million people were mobilised to help out in their communities. Lincolnshire Scouts was proud to be part of the The Big Help Out 2024, which took place from Friday 7 June to Sunday 9 June - coinciding with Volunteers’ Week. We are proud of all Lincolnshire Groups who took part.


The Deeping Apache Cubs (top picture) have one of our groups that have been out and about today across The Deepings, litter picking as part of the #TheBigHelpOut Weekend.


Scouts (and a beaver) from 10th Lincoln did some weeding and tidying on the driveway of a local care home on Friday evening. They will be returning to do some more work there at a later date.



Let us know and send us a picture if your group has taken part in the #TheBigHelpOut
