Rastick St Matthews cubs had a great evening tonight at Bradley Wood West Yorkshire Scouts archive. Very interesting learning the history of how the scout movement came about, I’ve never seen the cubs so captivated during the video.
Amazing fun dressing up as cubs and scouts very good visit, well worth the price of £1 per person with optional occasional uniform badge at £2 .
