Troop paddle hard at Youth Dragonboat Championship

14 brave Scouts paddled to near exhaustion at the Longridge Dragonboat competition held on the River Thames recently. Competing against a dozen other teams in the Under-15’s catagory, including several dedicated dragonboat organistaions, Batchworth finshed a respectiable 5th overall. The highlight of the event was an impressive win over the boats on the course during the qualification stages. All paddlers and our drummer received the Scout Dragonboat Activity Award.
