A WHIP-ROUND at a meeting of Wyre Forest District Council brought in more than £70 for Operation Covert.
Councillors dipped into their pockets at this month's meeting of the full council. A total of £73 was pledged to our campaign.
The collection was organised by Marcus Hart, deputy leader of the council.
He said: "I am heavily involved in Scouting organisations in Kidderminster and the chairman of the district council very kindly allowed a collection to take place.
"I had lots of positive comments and it is nice to see that the council supports local Scouting and the young people of Wyre Forest."
l A sale to mark harvest festival raised £100 for Operation Covert.
Pensioners who attend Stourport Social Day Centre in Sion Gardens donated a variety of food to sell among themselves.
Organiser, Joyce Hatton, said: "We always give the money each year to a local charity and when we saw what had happened to the Scouts we decided to allocate the money to the appeal. We are very happy to support the campaign."
