Dear parents and carers,

“Sleigh bells ring, Are you listening?…”

We are delighted to tell you that the East Calder Scout Group are running the Santa Sleigh event again this year!

Santa’s sleigh is raring to go and will be visiting believers, young and old spreading festive cheer and lots of chocolate!

He will visit Calderwood on Saturday 2nd December and East Calder on Sunday 3rd December, starting from 4pm both days.

We will be making plenty of noise so you will likely hear us coming!

We will also have  ‘🎅🏽Santa Stop Here🎅🏽’ signs going up around your community in the coming weeks.

The routes we are taking, with the link to track Santa can be found here: https://www.eastcalderscouts.uk/home/santa

If you’re able to support this event, here is the link to our Just Giving page if you wanted to donate to the East Calder Scouts so we can continue to run these different events for our community. Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you all then!
