Upton Priory Scouts quiz night

3rd Upton Priory Scouts recently held their 13th annual quiz night.

With the goal of raising funds for the building of a new scout hut in Macclesfield, the event saw over 100 scout leaders, their family, friends and other supporters come together for a fun-filled evening.

The quiz, held at Mottram St Andrew village hall, raised £1,003, and the winning team were rewarded with a case of wine. The Mayor of Macclesfield, Cllr Janet Jackson MBE, and local MP, David Rutley, were on hand to lend their support.

The evening also saw three of the troop’s adult leaders receive Wood Badges from the Cheshire Scouts District Commissioner, Mark Eden. The Wood Badge is a Scouting leadership programme and the related award for adult leaders in the programmes of Scout associations across the world. Wood Badge courses aim to make Scouters better leaders by teaching advanced leadership skills, and by creating a bond and commitment to the Scout movement.
