A Cub Scout from 1st Great Bentley challenged our new Chief Scout to crate stacking recently at an activity weekend at Youlbury Activity Centre.
Adam, 10, from Colchester said, ““We recently met Bear and did loads of new activities with him. He’s fun!”
Photos and video footage of Adam and Bear has been doing the rounds in the tv media today and featuring in a youtube video on scouts.org.uk as well as the local newspapers.
