Lastest Scouting News from Luton

Visit our news page to find out about some of the recent events that Luton Scouts have been involved in.  2009 was another exciting year for Luton Scouts and amongst the events was a celebration of Scouting in the town centre on Saturday 4th July.

The event - called Luton Scouts in Action - took place in St George's Square in the centre of the town.  It was a showcase of activities with members of  local scout groups taking part.  Among the highlights were a climbing wall, a pioneering project to build a bridge, amateur radio, a video link to scouts in America, South Africa, Gibraltar and India, a canonball run, cooking competitions, entertainment and individual activity zones for scouts, cubs and beavers. Members of the public were able to have a go on the climbing wall as well.
