Members of the 38th Rossendale Cub Packs took part in the District Akela Trophy. Seven packs from Rossendale took part in various challenges. Teams of six (at least 3 of whom have to be under nine and a half) from each pack had to show their skill at the various bases: – fire lighting, erecting a tent, compass and map reading, basic first aid, pioneering, ingenuity and a fun base. The cubs had a challenging but enjoyable day and purple pack rounded off the day with a McDonalds meal at the Warren.
