This competition has not only offered us invaluable feedback but has also forged stronger connections within our community, shedding light on the myriad ways that Scouting at 1st Bistre positively impacts our young adventurers.

While we wish we could give every participant a prize, please know that your words have gifted us something equally valuable: insight, encouragement, and the joy of knowing the positive experiences your children are having with us.

Remember, your stories, experiences, and feedback are always welcome, not just during competition times but all year round. They serve as essential guides that help us navigate the path of continuous improvement and community building.

Looking to the Future

Here’s to many more adventures, shared stories, and collectively building a future where our young people gain the skills they need to navigate the journey of life. Keep an eye on our blog for future competitions, stories, and insights into our bustling, vibrant group!

Happy Scouting and once again, congratulations Elinor!
