Strategy Weekend

Fantastic weekend!  Lovely weather, brilliant challenges, loads of fun.


1921 Scouts in 268 teams took part.  We came 40th and 60th.  Great result.


Friday night there was a band






And some Fire Dancing



Not tired and totally looking forward to the challenges on Saturday.

Team work to get the red 'bomb' out of the danger area.

Really fun event.  Raised lots of cash from local shoppers and raised the profile of Scouts in the community.



Looking cool
