Description
Scout leaders in Hereford and Worcester cancel a highly anticipated summer trip to Toronto and Niagara after discovering missing funds from their charity account. The two-week excursion, costing £2,750 per child, was set for around 100 kids and 27 volunteers. Families had been fundraising for over a year, but the trip was canceled due to missing funds and rising costs. Parents and children are heartbroken, with one mom out over £2,200. Scouts reported the theft to police and the Charity Commission, and while a man was arrested, the investigation continues. Scouts promise full refunds and will cover any shortfalls to ensure families arent left in the lurch.
