Only 3 teams took part this year, changes to the Scout section ages seem to be playing a part, along with some troops are having leadership challenges. So all three teams are winners. Congratulations to Jamie Paterson (PL), Iain McBride (APL), Jason Canning, Craig McBride, Jonathon Paterson, Ruairidh Reid who were members of the winning patrol from the 48th Fife (St David's) Scout Troop.
My thanks to the 48th Scout Group, who allowed us to use their HQ in Dalgety Bay, to the teams that took part and to the leaders who gave their time to get the patrols to the venue and assist on the night.
