The Third Sunbury Scout Group is rocking around the Christmas tree this festive season.
The Scouts are again selling Christmas trees to help fund their activities.
Group leader Jason Aisbett said the Christmas tree sales were the Scouts biggest fundraising event of the year.
“We sell the trees so we can fundraise and send our leader to major camps so they aren’t out of pocket,“ he said.
“It’s also to help with the ongoing costs of the Scout Hall, including rates and insurances.
“It’s our major event of the year. We weren’t sure if we would be able to do it [due to COVID-19] but we’re given the green light.“
The Christmas trees are sourced from a Daylesford farm.
Mr Aisbett said the tree selling days were a family-friendly event.
“We get the regular families who turn up on the day,“ he said.
“The kids really enjoy it because they get to help sell the trees and carry the trees to the car.“
Tree prices start at $60 and can be picked up from Max Gifford Hall, 8 Miller Street, on December 5 and 6 and December 12 and 13 between 9am-3pm.
Tree delivery is also available.
