SENLAC DISTRICT CUB SCOUTS - DC's TROPHY

Five teams of Cub Scouts (8 '“ 11 years-old), entered in competitive spirit for the DC's Trophy, held at Kiteye District Training Ground. Lots were drawn for area to set-up individual campsites. The independent judges were required to observe Scouting and technical skills; also tent pitching, teamwork, leadership and health and safety awareness. The second stage of competition was lighting of fires, followed by cooking a sausage and making cup of tea or coffee. Timing was of the essence! All teams competed well and should record noteable achievements related to overall performance. Results were as follows: Winning Team were 3rd Bexhill (Darzee) Cub Pack (49 points). 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Teams followed closely behind with 48, 45, 44 and 43 points. To salute the 'eventual' 'rising from the ashes' of 9th Bexhill Group a new DC's Trophy was displayed - a magnificent wise owl!
