Congratulations Scouts, and hopefully you’ve spent the last week recovering!

And if that wasn’t enough, our winning teams presented a presentation about the Cheshire Hike to the rest of the troop on Friday night, explaining what the hike involves, how the points are scored and what it means to reach the finish. Hopefully they have inspired some of our younger Scouts to consider taking part in next year’s Cheshire Hike!
