Group Chip shop Hike!
​
Recently the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts all got together for an evening of fun, games and visits to seven different chip shops in the local area. The young people had a great time working with children from the other sections and after a walk were able to try the chips and vote for their favourite. Presenting Spice Out take away with a certificate! Thank you to all the young people who took part and the adults who supported the group!
