Seb’s story
Seb will be walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks - Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough, and Whernside on the 20th June 2026 to raise money for two reasons: firstly towards his own trip to an international Cub Camp in Kandersteg, Switzerland with West Lancashire Cubs in August 2026, and secondly towards the enormous project of rebuilding Goosnargh's Scout Hut.
As you may be aware, 1st Goosnargh Scout Group was forced to move out of the scout hut located behind Goosnargh Oliversons Primary School in 2022, as it was no longer fit for purpose. The Group had used the building for more than 50 years and now need to find a new home! The Group is recognised as one of the most successful scouting groups in Preston district, working for the benefit of over 80 young people each week and supported by a team of dedicated volunteers who have shared their skills and time for many years. The Group are looking to raise funds to secure a home that will ensure that they can continue to work for the benefit of young people across Goosnargh and the surrounding area for generations to come. Unfortunately, the cost of a new build is likely to be in the region of £250,000.
Sebastian Eason is a 10 year old cub scout and, despite being a keen walker, walking all the Yorkshire Three Peaks all in one day will be a massive challenge for him. He is eager to raise money both for the new scout hut and to contribute towards the cost of his own trip to Switzerland (£1140). Seb has become really passionate about cubs over his time with the pack. He knows that the hut is not likely to be built during his time with cubs but is keen that future cubs can enjoy the benefit of a permanent home. The international cub camp in Switzerland is an incredible opportunity for Seb personally both in terms of being able to travel independently of his parents and to experience meeting other cubs from all over the world. He has been desparate to go on the trip since it was announced and feels strongly that he would like to earn his place on that trip.
Donations will be split initially 50:50 to both causes but should the total donations exceed £2280, the remainder will be donated exclusively to 1st Goosnargh Cub scouts to help raise the £250,000 needed for the construction of the new hut. #sebs3peaks
