Neath Port Talbot Christmas Post 2011
What is Scout Post?
Scout Post is a scheme that offers the public of Neath Port Talbot county borough an opportunity to send Christmas Cards at a fraction of the cost of Royal Mail. It has been in operation for over 25 years.
How the scheme works:-
Stamps are sold by retail outlets and cards are also posted at the same place. Stamps go on sale from the start of November and during this period cards are collected from the outlets and taken back to group headquarters for sorting into the other areas of the scheme.

Glamorgan West Fastest Growing Area in Wales
The results of the annual census of Scout membership by Gilwell Park reveal that Glamorgan West is currently the fastest growing area in Wales and second fastest in the UK.
We experienced an impressive 11% membership bump over the previous 12 months, making it our second year of growth. Also very promising is the 30% rise in girls joining, proving once and for all that we are no longer Boy Scouts.
Well done to all the hard work from our volunteers that made this possible. Keep an eye on today's (April 15th) papers and local radio for more on this story.
