A fun filled day where we get an excuse to act like a big kid and give something back to our younger scouting sections. Network organise and run a day of activities for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Always a laugh and a popular event. Please speak to a member of the Exec team if you are interested.
An ideal opportunity to take part and to publicise scouting to a much wider public that at most events. A car is been sourced for Network to race and should be good fun. Held at Blackpool Promenade. For more information please email mail4scouts@margandsteve.com
