Scouts Victorious
Scouts Victorious! Our team of scouts won the District Plender Hike last night – successfully navigating their way around the Kemsing course of a clear but chilly October evening.
Update: Thanks for the extra photos Carl. More photos and details of what happened in the event to come!
A big thank you to Peter and the team for organising it. The one downside of winning is that it will be us that organise it next year 🙂
