Horsham Weald Scout District Cross Country Cycle Race

Sunday 29th June saw the “Horsham Weald Scout Cross Country cycle race” return with a bang. Despite the downpours on Saturday while setting the weather improved on the day. There were around 60 participants on the start line coming from all age groups (Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers & Adults). All participants and spectators had a great time, supporting and encouraging each other throughout the day. Thanks and congratulations to everyone who took part, but particularly to all the finalists in each age group. A big thank you goes out to the following local businesses who supported the event, giving prizes and their time freely to ensure that it was a great success.

Alan, Sam and the whole team are looking forward to next year’s event already and hope to increase participation at all levels and encouraging healthy competition within Horsham Weald Scout District.

Alan stated “Sam and I have been really thrilled with the take up at this year’s event. We hope the message gets passed around to other Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Leaders and parents to encourage more entries in 2015 and beyond. This was a fantastic Scout family event!” To find out more about joining Scouting and the opportunities it offers to adults and young people go to: Horsham Weald District - http://horshamwealdscouts.org/join.html West Sussex Scouts - http://www.westsussexscouts.org.uk/join-us/volunteer.aspx Scout Association - http://scouts.org.uk/get-involved/
