They will be among others from across the North-West region involved in the online event. Since 2014 the region s Scouts have mounted the hunt around Liverpool city centre to raise money for the charity which provides emergency shelter and other essential items to families who have lost their homes to disasters. So far £23,000 has been raised in seven years. This year coronavirus has forced the event online using videos instead with the challenges being devised by local groups. Organiser John Cadman said: “Not only is ShelterBox a very worthy cause, but it also gels with the Scouting ethos of helping others. It provides some fantastic programme ideas for our Scout Groups and many of the challenges that we take part in can also be worked into our awards programme.
