The scout section traditionally have a trip out somewhere during the year to explore a new place. This year however the Beavers and Cubs joined us for a trip to Filey. The object was to have fun!
At the crack of dawn, well 9am (but that's dawn on a Sunday for the Scouts), we set off in a 70 seater coach for the coast. Disappointingly it wasn't the double decker we'd been promised but hey. As we reached the M1 the first calls of 'Are we there yet' came from the Beavers. A relatively quick journey found us in a cool but sunny Filey well before midday. Whilst the beavers and cubs headed for the toilets the scouts headed for the front.
We all joined up for lunchtime where we enjoyed a chippie meal on the Coble Landing. The sun came out and during the afternoon the younger scouts and beavers headed for the rock pools whilst the laid back teenagers spent the time wandering and chilling on the prom. Visits to buy sweets and souvenirs as well as a chance to play the 2p slots came before, all too soon, we were back on the coach for home. As we left Filey the heavens opened, was Filey crying that we'd left ?
