2 Goodgymer joined volunteersfrom the Portsmouth Scouts emptyingcupboards, moving cupboards and restocking cupboards to ensure a clean, safe and bigger area for young people in the area to get involved in Scouting.
In Goodgym style we also made sure the items that weren't needed were recycled, donated to Salvation Army or sent to the share cafe.

In a late change to our task we set about giving the Gibson Centre a good scrub down.

The cages were taken off the radiators, many spiders were relocated and the water was dirty in minutes. We schwooped with brooms, swished with dusters and Abby fixed the Scouts sign and hung it back up with pride. No clothing was found this time round, however the discovery of a discarded toenail more than made up for that 🤢

We made use of the echo in the hall to rendition some Sound of Music classics and took a turn at yodelling.

With thanks to Katie for giving us a list of tasks we happily crossed them off. Jazzing it up with some added French 🇫🇷 and pizza 🍕 drawings to make it look more fun! And we even found a new trophy to use for GG fun times, comment with some ideas as to what you think the award should be for. I think the first congrats is to Wilson on good deed #400!!!

Discussions around Katie trip to Oz and the recent Victorious festival filled our time and we were soon flashing the board, and then cleaning it! 😜

5 Goodgymers picked up the tiny pieces of plastic and wrappers from around the Gibson Centre making the place look spick and span and much safer for the children that use the space.

Loads of fabulous Goodgymers braved the windy weather to litter pick in Bransbury Park. Goodgym were inspiring the little Squirrel Scouts and showing them the joys of litter picking or as one 5 yr old said - with full excitement and unabashed enthusiasm - it's a rubbish treasure hunt!!! Best find were a camo hat and wizards wand (which might have been a vape :)

2 Goodgymers helped inspire 22 little Squirrels and Beavers to take part in the Great British Beach Clean. Together we collected over 6kg of rubbish from the brach, mainly tiny scraps of plastic that would otherwise end up in our oceans.

2 Goodgymers dropped in on the Somers Orchard community garden and watered the planters for the 48th squirrels.
