Cubs Figure of Eight Walk 2010

3rd and 4th July 2010

This challenging walk was completed by over 200 Cubs and leaders from all over Cornwall.

The weather was pleasant and fitted the new venue of Tywardreath School, and new route which was enjoyed by all.

The Cubs and leaders camped overnight and started early on Sunday morning,with most packs finishing back at the camp site in time for lunch.

The organising committee (3rd St Austell Cubs and Sticker Cubs) aided by Mid-Cornwall Scout Fellowship and parents,

manned the checkpoints,provided a shuttle service, as well as cooking 367 evening meals, breakfasts and making packed lunches.
