100 Year Celebrations Finale & Imtahleb Abseil

Here’s to another 100 years!

As the oldest surviving group outside the UK, we made sure that we ended the centenary celebrations with a bang. Following a Gala Dinner on Friday night, today the whole group met at HQ for a full day of activities.

We’re proud to say that the Sliema Group does things differently- and today was no exception. To end off our year-long celebrations, each section invited all groups from the North District to join in on the fun for the day.

After mass, as the Pack began some crafts and the Troop set out on a very interesting treasure hunt, the SVS prepared for the much awaited Imtahleb abseil.

The site was simply superb. A pleasant descent down a cliff face right down to sea level- our ropes were just about long enough! After we had three long jumps it was time to call it a day and head back to HQ where we debriefed the day and chowed down on some packed lunch left-overs with the Troop leaders.

Next up on the calendar is the fundraising car-boot sale this Sunday at Razzett tal-Hbiberijja, so the ventures will be getting tones of not-so-beloved possessions and selling them for a bargain.

Until then, I’ll leave you with a couple more pics from today’s activity…

Long live the Sliema Group- Cheers to another successful 100 years!
