It’s a first for the 2nd!
The 2nd Ilkeston Scout Group won all four trophies at the Ilkeston District Swimming Gala recently – something they have never done before.
The gala was held at the Victoria Park Swimming Pool, Ilkeston.
The Beavers, Cubs and Scouts each won their section trophies and they then also received the Group Trophy.
Michelle Beecroft, Group Scout Leader told us: “We had 7 Beavers, 5 Cubs and 3 Scouts participating with 2 young leaders and 1 leader. We were competing against four other Ilkeston Scout groups. As you can imagine, our teams were so excited to do the clean sweep. It’s our best performance ever.”
The 2nd Ilkeston are attached to the Ilkeston United Reformed Church and meet on Mondays (Scouts), Tuesdays (Beavers) and Thursdays (Cubs).
