PICTURES: Nairn Scout hosts scavenger hunt to raise funds for South Korea jamboree

An event hosted on Saturday helped raise money for a Scout who will be representing 1st Nairn Scouts at the 25th International Scout Jamboree in South Korea next summer.

Charlie Flett planned the event with help from mum Rowena, which involved a Scout-themed scavenger hunt.

The fun challenge took place in Cawdor, where participants enjoyed a raffle, cakes, temporary tattoos, a nail in a bale hunt and a prize for completing the challenge.

Participants grabbed a map to make their way round 13 different points around the village, each providing a base for a letter that, together, spelled out “scout jamboree”.

The day was busy and enjoyed by the community, raising more than £400 towards Charlie’s target.

Rowena said: “More people showed than we thought, it was great! Charlie is really really excited. There’s an awful lot of fundraising to do, but it’s an amazing opportunity.”
