CUBS from a Wanstead based troop travelled to the headquarters of the scouting movement to pick up some well-deserved awards.

The boys from the 19th Epping Forest South Scout Group who meet at Wanstead United Reformed Church received their Chief Scout's Gold and Silver awards at Gilwell Park in Epping Forest.

They had to complete a series of challenges to win the awards including spending nights camping, learning about navigation and helping out charities.
