The Scouts entered the District Raft Race held in glorious sunshine, on the 10th June 2006 at HOAC. The event used HOAC rules which meant that the Scouts were encouraged to use the smallest amount of equipment possible. Our Scouts decided to abandon the raft design that they had been taught and go for a completely different design, with some intertesting results! | |||||||||||||
