Scouts topped off London Navigation challenge with a tour on HMS Belfast
7 Scouts split into 2 teams were set loose in London recently with a series of challenges to complete before embarking on HMS Belfast for a tour around this historic former Royal Navy vessel. Starting from Rickmansworth Train Station, each team were handed a list of cryptic clues to guide them on two separate routes around London's famous landmarks taking in such sights as Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Harrods and London's South Bank. One lucky team also got to spend some time enjoying the entertainment provided by Hamleys Toy Store, even if learning the magic tricks did put them a little behind schedule!
HMS Belfast is first ship to be preserved for the nation since Nelson’s Victory, which was also visited by a group from Batchworth Sea Scouts last year.
