Iljieli Scoutin

Between the 31^st of July and 2^nd of August, the Sliema Front became alive with a strong scouting fever, organized by our Scout Group as part of our 100 year celebrations. There were games for the kids and the centenary photos on display. There was also a climbing wall up which attracted the attention and interest of most of the passers-by, and was tried by nearly all Cubs and Scouts alike.

As for the Unit, we pioneered a structure that displayed our abseiling equipment on one side and had an abseil wall on the other. On this wall Ventures took it in turns to demonstrate how to abseil down a flat surface, and how to war the abseil gear. On the second day, we started letting people try it for themselves and before we knew it we were constantly kitting up people to let them try their hands at the activity we love so much!

All other Scout Groups were invited to attend, and indeed many did turn up and joined in the fun. San Gwann Scout Group also put on a remarkable show, by dressing up in full parade uniform and playing the bagpipes.

Ljieli Skawtin was certainly a success, and hopefully helped to improve the image of Scouting to the public. Well done boys!
