When I was a Scout we had Bob a Job week as a fundraiser.
Visiting peoples homes to do jobs for them. Be it Gardening, Window /Car Washing etc.
We would be paid in Bobs, 20 cent increments. Though most people paid $1 or $2.
We also had “Bottle Week”
We went door to door collecting bottles for recycling cash.
I’m talking 1970’s and 80’s

No, they don’t do bob a job like they used to, going to peoples homes to ask if they want anything doing, health and safety ( theirs) they still do organised events where there are adults to supervise…

They stopped doing Bob a Job in the 1990s in England.It was first started in 1949 so it lasted a good few years.
