Shopping

Crofton Scout Group operates not one, but two fundraising webshops. When shopping online with either one, you can access over 100 leading retailers. Every time you use our webshops when shopping online, you'll automatically earn money for Crofton Scouts and it won't cost you a penny more!

There are a huge range of products and services available including:

• gas and electricity supply switching
• holiday accommodation and flights
• business accommodation via LateRooms
• groceries
• CDs
• DVDs
• electrical goods, etc.

Please ask any relatives, friends and even employers to consider making their online purchases via either of our web shops. Companies can order stationery, office equipment, book hotels and flights this way too.

1) BuyAt webshop - www.buy.at/croftonscouts

Our BuyAt webshop does not require a username to log in. However, in order for any commission to be paid to Crofton Scouts it is important to remember to always start your shopping search from the BuyAt page, rather than going directly to a retailer's website.

To date, we've earned a total of £222.46 in commission from our BuyAt shop since its launch in September 2006.

2) EasyFundraising webshop - www.easyfundraising.org.uk/2ndwakefieldcroftonscouts

By contrast our EasyFundraising webshop works a little differently. This service requires you to register (i.e. create an account with a UserName and Password which remains under your control) and nominate your chosen charity (e.g. "2nd Wakefield Crofton Scouts") in order that commission can be passed on accordingly. Users see the amount of commission they have raised every time they log into the site.

Commission payments are made quarterly - we'll update the blog when we receive any commission.

easysearch is powered by Yahoo!, the world's 2nd largest search engine.

It doesn't sound like much, but the pennies soon mount up and you can raise £25.00 a year - or more - just by switching your normal searching to easysearch!
