cross countryOn a gloriously dry and sunny day we were well represented at this annual district event, with members from 7 of our 9 sections. For our younger members, the traditional cross country races were run, with Peacock Colony taking 1st place in the individual 6yr olds and 1st in the 7yr overall.  Philpott Colony won the 6yr old overall and took 1st in the individual race for the 7yr olds.

Phillips and Collins cub packs were represented, with Collins pack taking the individual 3rd in the 10yr old race.

For the Scouts, there was an additional element; the ToughEnough assault course, which comprised of various obstacles designed to challenge the Scouts. The Earley Troop won 10 1/2-12yr olds overall event and 3rd place individual and the Burne Troop won the 12-14yr olds overall and took 1st, 2nd & 3rd as individuals.

Well done to everyone who competed or came to support the young folk, but a special well done to all of our winners.
