This event, with the emphasis strictly on fun, gives the junior section of the Scout Association a chance to enjoy a range of outdoors activities that individual groups might find difficult to organise. It also gives the ever-patient leaders a chance to swap stories and compare notes!

The competition was held last year to mark Scouting’s Centenary, but was so popular the decision was taken to make it annual event.

A leader from 4th Antrim commented: “this is a great day out for the Cubs, and one they look forward to. It is wonderful to see them work as a team to complete the activities.”

Naturally the Cubs had different highlights one young Cub from 1st Muckamore caught her breath just long enough to say: “I love getting mucky on the assault course.”

Last year’s winning team from Crumlin will hand their trophy over to this year’s winning team from 1st Muckamore, with 4th Antrim coming a close second.
