SCOUTS have taken part in activities to celebrate 100 years of the movement.

The 1st Barton Scout Group spent a weekend at Thornthwaite scout activity centre, near Ripon.

A total of 36 scouts and five leaders took part.

Jane Davenport, group leader, said: "They all had a great time.

"Saturday was a hectic and muddy day, as Scouts took part in crate stacking, giant catapult building, wide games and fire building, and even built their own outdoor sauna.

"On Sunday morning, they enjoyed more outdoor games as well as a Scouts own, when they thought about the impact Scouting has made over the past 100 years and the importance of friendship in our lives."

This year, the group is also celebrating 30 years of scouting in Barton.
