Four Scout teams descended on Hawley Lake with one team defending their right to retain the trophy.

The teams from the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 9th built their rafts after collecting the various parts from locations around the lake using Kayaks.

The crafts were named and tested for strength before they set off around the island and back to land. Two of the craft did not make it, to much amusement from all concerned.

The team from 6th Hawley returned victorious to claim the trophy from last years winners.
