More Bob a job week

The above poster shows the nature of the work a boy could do for Bob a Job week was not restricted to traditional roles but was anything that would of of help which might include sweeping a yard, cleaning for somebody.

The main point was you offered a service you did just for the satisfaction of doing it, helping to raise funds for scouting that benefited you rather than expecting others to do it helping to raise awareness of scouting in the wider community.

By the mid 1970's it was formally retitled Scout Job Week not least with the "Bob" a pre-decimal unit of currency that was one shilling (1/) which was converted to 5 New Pence in 1971 which was a small sum being discontinued although the old term remained in informal usage.
