The Scouts had a great time today competing in the Chichester Rotary Dragon Boat Challenge and all to help raise funds for local charities.
As the only ‘Young Dragon’ team entered this year, all races were against an adult team. Our team did a great job, winning two races and losing another by a Dragon’s whisker!
Check out the team in action in our photo gallery (which includes a video too!)
