THE Army is to help launch a police force's summer holiday leisure scheme for youngsters, on Friday.
Members of the Green Howards Youth Action Team, at Catterick Garrison, will abseil down the front of the Scarborough Spa building to release a banner promoting "Cop a Lot 2001."
The scheme is being run for the second time and will involve 150 children from the Edgehill, Barrowcliffe and Old Town areas of Scarborough.
The six-week programme of activities will include judo, go-karting and ice skating and will be run by police officers and community education workers.
Money is still needed to fund the scheme and organisers are asking for donations from local businesses.
Scarborough police youth action worker, Jackie Raynor, said: "We really need businesses in Scarborough to get behind Cop a Lot.
"It gives the young people in these areas something positive, exciting and interesting to do during the summer holidays."
