CUBS braved torrential rain last night as they handed over a cheque to the St Cuthbert's Hospice appeal.
The 28 members of the 5th Durham City Scout Group (Cubs division), based at Langley Moor, held a bingo night for friends, family and parents and raised £57.
Scout leader Alison Hand said: "The boys decided which charity to donate the money to. Each one of them nominated a good cause and then they all voted on it, so they had a democratic vote to give the money to St Cuthbert's."
Last night, the boys, all aged between eight and 10, gathered at Broompark Picnic Area during a scout activity night, to hand over the money.
St Cuthbert's has launched a fund-raising campaign, backed by The Northern Echo, to build a £3.2m extension to offer round-the-clock specialist palliative care.
