Challenge Day goes down a treat

The inaugural Challenge Day for the West Sussex County Scouts Association Beavers took place last month at the Bognor Regis Arena for boys and girls aged six to eight.

They turned out with their leaders to compete with other district teams in various contests including learning and singing the national anthem, a sack race, welly throwing and various water games '“ with much of the water aimed at the leaders.

Lucky winners were the Arundel and Littlehampton District group, which won the Granny Beaver Challenge Trophy, which was presented by Carol Sayers. The Bognor Regis team also led a valiant effort, finishing a close second. Sue Farrant, who organised the event, said it had been a huge success and hoped another would be held next year.
