Camp Cook / Beaver Quiz / Cub Night Hike
This was a frantic and fantastic weekend of scouting with events taking place for three sections. A great turnout at the Scout Camp Cook (this year combined with the challenge flag) led to Oakworth retaining the Challenge Flag, Riddlesden Winning the Camping, Long Lee taking the cooking and the David Exley trophy being presented to Silsden. In the beaver quiz held at Riddlesden Scout headquarters the winners were Fell Lane (Left). The cub night hike was also a huge success with over a hundred cubs, leaders and parents snaking over the world famous moore. Well done and a big thanks to everyone taking part in an event this weekend. |
