To celebrate the end of an amazing year, 1st Ealing North Cubs had a potato party! The session was made up of games and silly tasks suggested by the cubs themselves. The Potatolimpics started with a Hot Potato relay race followed by Potato bowling, Potato Darts, Potato balancing and frenzied Potato bingo!

Meanwhile 1EN Scouts took part in The Grimsdyke Hikes – a fun and challenging combination of orienteering, navigation and endurance in the beautiful Chiltern Hills around the ancient and mysterious earthworks of Grim’s Dyke. The teams battled through driving rain which turned parts of the route into a sticky mess of clay and mud!

Francis Curran adds:
1EN Scouts then wrapped up the term with a fun-filled bowling trip at Ealing Broadway. Laughter, friendly competition, and a few surprise strikes made it a great final meeting.
