Starting out four years ago with Santa perched on an old tractor, the tour has grown into a much-loved tradition. This year, thanks to the support of the Liskeard Lions Club, Santa travelled in style on a specially built trailer. Alongside half of the group’s leaders, parents and friends joined in to make the event possible.

The tour focused on Liskeard but also visited nearby villages where members live. A local toy supplier generously donated high-end toys, which were given out for donations. Even Liskeard’s Deputy Mayor joined the fun each night, showing the strength of community spirit.

Funds raised will help the group upgrade tents, stock up on Scout hut supplies, and support an exciting trip to Brownsea Island – the birthplace of Scouting.

Kieron, organiser of the Santa Tour, said:
“It’s really nice to be out there helping the community as well as our members. The best bit for all of us leaders and helpers is seeing the kids’ faces light up when Santa turns that corner and they see him for the first time.“

The group is now aiming to reach £1,000 before Christmas. If you’d like to help, every little bit makes a big difference:

Belonging matters. We know that recent news has raised questions about who gets to join youth organisations, and that can feel difficult for many people. At Scouts, our commitment is clear – whoever you are, wherever you’re from, there’s a place for you here. Scouting is built on values of care, respect and cooperation.

Every week, thousands of young people and volunteers come together to learn skills for life, make friends and enjoy adventures. We believe those opportunities should be open to everyone.

Find out more about how we make Scouting inclusive and welcoming for all on the Scouts webpage.
