Over 100 Scouts recently took part in the first Wansdyke Scout Soapbox Rally, held at Clutton Scout HQ.

In the beautiful springtime weather, Scouts competed in different challenges, including the fastest lap and drag races, in the carts which they had designed and created themselves (with some help from parents and leaders!).

Eighteen carts competed across the event, with High Littleton Scouts coming out on top in four out of the six award categories. 1st Keynsham Frome Troop took the award for the best designed cart, with their interpretation of St George’s Dragon, and Radstock Scouts took home the prize for the best Scout-designed and built cart.

Overall, a brilliant day was had by all in attendance, and it is an event which Wansdyke Scouts hope will be held again.
