2011-03-19 – District Cross Country Race

Today, members from all sections of the 5th Dartford Scout Group turned out to compete in the Annual District Cross Country race at Canada Heights, on what has probably been the most glorious, sunny day of the year thus far. 

Our competeing boys and girls put in a 100% effort today, many of whom have never run in a cross-country event before.  They should all take a bow and be commended on their achievement regardless of the final results, which we’ve listed below.

6-7yrs – Beavers – 5th Peacock-colony – 1st place.

7-8yrs – Beavers – 5th Phillpot-colony – 3rd place.

6-7yrs – Beavers – Jack – 5th Phillpot-colony – 4th place.
