We are absolutely thrilled by the incredible turnout for our Helmsley Family Fun Day celebrating 115 years of Scouting in Helmsley! 🎉🌳
Held at the stunning Duncombe Park on the 15th of September, the event was packed with adventure, laughter, and memorable moments for everyone. From archery to tomahawk throwing, air rifle shooting, and orienteering led by the fantastic Emma from Eborienteers, the day was filled with fun and excitement for all ages!
A huge and heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who attended and helped make the day such a success. Whether you participated in the activities, enjoyed a bite to eat, or simply came to show your support, we hope you had a fantastic afternoon!
