Nothing stops an Ash Green Cub from getting a badge - 17-01-2010
Just like the Mounties always get their man - Ash Green Cub Scouts always get their badges.
And just like their Canadian counterparts Ash Green Cubs weren't going to let a simple thing like a snow blizzard stand in their way.
The Cubs had been working on their Map Reading badge for some time and all they had to do was plan a ruote and hike it. While most of the Cubs had previously marched the route a small handful had still to do it.
So, despite huge snowfall, the young Cubs still marched it and and duly collected their badges.
Says Leader Kevin Malham: "We carefully risk assessed the event and ensured the young people were properly equipped and wrapped up for the adventure. It's all part of our aim of giving young people fun and adventure in a carefully managed environment."
