Scouts showcase talent, business skills at Entrepreneurs Day
The Springs Central Air Scouts hosted their first Entrepreneurs Day at the Scout Hall in Springs on August 2. The venue came alive with a vibrant array of stalls, each one unique and thoughtfully presented.
Visitors enjoyed a variety of handmade goods, some baked, some painted, and others carefully crafted by hand. Annelesia Laubscher from the fundraising committee told the Springs Advertiser that the event was a success.
She explained that the Scouts took part to earn their entrepreneurs badge, learning valuable lessons in the process, as everything sold on the day was handmade by them.
She noted that the event also enabled Scouts to gain practical business skills, including marketing, pricing, and customer service, all while having fun and engaging with the community.
'They all learnt how to trade among themselves. All in all, we had a great day with them. The people who supported us had a great time speaking to each Scout, finding out how they made their products, and asking them anything and everything about their stalls,' said Laubscher.
She also thanked everyone who came to support the Scouts, adding that the Scouts appreciated every one of them.
