The Blue Watch have been running this evening. They did a Bingo Night with loads of prizes. All of the Explorers were asked to dress up in something that began with the first letter of their name too! Well done to all of the Winners! We also presented Alex with his Platinum Award

A fantastic working weekend was had by all at @TawdValeAC / @MerseysideScout ... Whilst it was extremely cold to be camping, the Explorers made it through! A massive THANK YOU to the Explorers and members of @TawdValeAC for all of the hard work this weekend! #SkillsForLife
