Cubs Figure of Eight Walk 2009

4th & 5th July 2009

This challenging walk was completed by 367 Cubs and leaders from all over Cornwall.

The heavy rain showers did not deter the walkers during the weekend.

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.
