SCOUTS from County Durham braved cold weather over the weekend to take part in Camp Frostie.
More than 500 young people camped out at the Northern Region Scout headquarters at Moorhouse, Rainton Gate, Houghton-le-Spring.
They took part in activities which included carting, abseiling and crate-stacking.
Assistant County Commissioner for Scouts Jonathan Chicken said: "It has been said that young people have no stamina these days. In Scouts, we challenge that view.
"Our leaders and young people are out to have a good time, meeting up with old friends and generally shouting about scouting."
The Scouts were joined by 130 adult leaders for Camp Frostie,which is now in its fourth year.
