ARENA ENTERTAINMENT
As we book our events we will show the programme below:
- Opening Ceremony – Stanley’s Own Scout & Guide Band
- Trek Cart Race
The Trek Cart Race – This race is the scouting version of the Royal Navy’s gun race. The trek cart was used around World War One by the military to transport ammunition and stores to the battlefield. It was adopted by the Scouts to move stores and tents to Summer camp. The Scouts race these over a course where the carts are disassembled, passed over obstacles and then re assembled for the run back to the finish line.
