Celebrating five years, the 1st Ealing North Scouts community day attracted both sunshine and a large crowd. Several hundred people joined the Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts for an afternoon of fun, games and cake! Even Rupa Huq MP joined in. There was lemonade made by the Cubs, a well-stocked cakes stall, games hosted by the Scouts, hot dogs, freshly made popcorn, coconut shy, two bouncy castles not forgetting the amazing obstacle course!
