Tarvin Scouts Celebrate Success in the Cheshire Hike.

Over the last weekend 8 Scouts from 1st Tarvin joined over 400 others from across the county on the Cheshire Hike. The hike, which was delayed from the spring due to bad weather, started in the Tarvin/Kelsall area on the Saturday and finished at Nantwich on the Sunday. Tarvin Scouts competed in the Pathfinder Plus category, plotting map references and followed a 40 km route of footpaths and lanes carrying all their camping equipment and food. This required preparation, organisation, teamwork, resilience and personal determination. All of the Tarvin Scouts completed the challenge with Jessica and Grace winning the Trophy for the best Pathfinder Plus team from the Chester District.

In addition a Young Leader at 1st Tarvin, Oliver, was part of a team from the Mavericks Explorer Unit which won the Explorer Trophy for Chester District.

The event was supported by over 350 leaders from across Cheshire who ensured the safety of all those taking part. We rely on our leaders for events such as this as well as the extensive training which goes into it.
