Ely District Scouts are once again running their Christmas post service in Ely and the surrounding villages.

Ely Standard:

The popular service allows people to send Christmas cards to Ely, Stretham, Littleport, Witchford, Witcham, Haddenham, Little Downham, Wilburton, Sutton, and Little Thetford over the coming weeks for just 25p each.

This is Ely’s third year running Scout Post but some areas have been operating a service for many years.

Every year young people across the district get a chance to design a stamp and the best stamps are chosen to be printed.

This year the best stamp winner was Isaac Greaves, from 1st Stretham Scouts.

Isaac said: “I never expected to see my stamp printed but it’s great to win”.

This year a percentage of the money raised through the Scout post will be going to local charities in the area, chosen by the young people.
