Today the first Wickford Scout Group were celebrating 70 years and held a open/fun day in order to raise money for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. As usual there was loads of activities for the kids to participate in and loads of stalls where they could play games etc to win various prizes. Holly was a little unsure of the 6ft tall Easter Bunny that was wandering around, however she did eventually pluck up the courage to take a chocolate egg from him.
All 3 kids came away having won an Easter egg and Joshua and Brandon also made a celebratory key ring from wood using branding irons to burn symbols in to them. The boys also discovered those really annoying exploding cap things that you throw on the floor and kept conning me out of money for packs of those! The weather wasn't great but at least the rain held off and it was warm enough for Holly to convince me to buy her an ice-cream from the ice-cream van!
There was also a Maclaren and and Lamborghini on display which for a small donation you could get the kids picture taken with the cars. The Lamborghini was just beautiful and sounded so sweet!
