Not even the rain could stop the Badgers based in Bideford tonight! 🌧️🐾
​Our group braved the weather to visit the local community food pantry and learn about the vital work they do for our town. It was a fantastic experience meeting the amazing volunteers who keep everything running.
​To show their support, our youngest volunteers brought along donations to help the cause, earning progress toward their Helpful Badger badge in the process. Rain or shine, these Badgers are always ready to help! 💚
