Scouts get a taste of Olympic venue
Lee Valley White Water Centre in Hertfordshire held a Junior Raft Race in the hope of finding the first ever Team GB Junior team and a Youth team to take to the International Rafting Federation World Championships in New Zealand in November 2013.
Three Scouts from Flintshire all SWAT members took part in an endurance weekend rafting along with three of their friends. Explorer Liam Dorbin, ASL Luke Dorbin from Saltney Ferry and Christopher Lloyd, skills instructor attached to Mynydd Isa.
An incredible challenge and a fantastic result of coming in third place overall and being awarded medals from Kayaking Olympic Champion Richard Hounslow.
Their next challenge will be in May when they will be rafting the River Derwent in Derbyshire!
