An opportunity to take part in the County Shooting and Archery competitions lie ahead for the top scouts in both competitions with the County Archery Competition taking place on the 13th June and the County Shooting Competition on the 26th September.

As ever this event would not be possible without the invaluable knowledge and support of the qualified Instructors who support the delivery of the two skills and the admin team who scored the shooting and pulled together all the scores.

The district extends thanks to the whole team for giving up their time to enable the scouts to have a great day and would like to say a huge congratulations to all of those who took part in the competition.
