Mansfield Cub Scouts will be seen more easily seen on outdoor activities thanks to the generosity of two companies.

Supply Technologies, which has a UK depot in Burton Upon Trent, has partnered with its sister company, Langstone Supplies Ltd, to donate 30 hi-vis vests to 10th Mansfield Scout Group.

The vests will serve as an essential safety measure during outdoor activities and expeditions, ensuring the Scouts are easily visible and recognisable, even in low-light conditions.

Roger Ambler, Group Scout Leader, said: “Keeping our young members safe when away from our premises is of the highest priority. We must be able to instantly recognise our young members and ensure their visibility to others, particularly during activities like hikes.

“We are a charity and seek to work in partnerships with companies such as Supply Technologies. This generous donation of printed hi-vis vests allows us to fulfil our mission to challenge young people, offer opportunities they may not be able to access in their normal lives, and to be part of their development and growth, in a manner that is safe.”

The donated vests will specifically benefit the Cubs’ section, which consists of 28 members aged 8 to 10.
Langstone Supplies Ltd is a specialist supplier of safety clothing, equipment, and workwear, with more than 30 years’ experience in the sector.

Paul Stokes, business development manager at Supply Technologies, added: “We are delighted to contribute to the wellbeing of 10th Mansfield Scout Group.

“Supply Technologies and Langstone Supplies Ltd share a strong commitment to safety, and we believe that by equipping these young Scouts with the necessary safety gear, we can help foster a culture of responsible and secure outdoor activities.”
