Kent Scouts Big Cardboard Sleep Out for Porchlight 2022

This October, thousands of Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers in Kent will raise funds for Porchlight by spending a night outside in cardboard boxes, giving those involved a better understanding about what people who are homeless have to go through every day.

Money raised by Kent Scouts Big Cardboard Sleep Out will help make a difference to the help Porchlight support the homeless and vulnerable.
