Local Scout Groups in Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Paulton and Peasedown St John are offering to deliver your Christmas cards by hand in their local villages for the bargain price of 40p per card. All proceeds from the sale of stamps will go to help Scout Groups in the local area.

Thanks to the support of local independent businesses, stamps are now on sale and post boxes placed in the Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Paulton and Peasedown St John areas. The last collection is on 15th December at noon and all correctly addressed cards will be delivered by hand by Christmas Eve.

This year’s stamp design competition was won by Kate, a nine-year old Cub Scout from Radstock. Her design features Rudolph holding one of his own cards ready to post, with the Miners’ Wheel in the background.

Scout Post has been running for over thirty years, with the annual number of cards delivered reaching 10,000.
