Bramshill District run lots of events for Scouts.  One of these is the annual Rafting competition. 

After kayaking around the lake collecting various component parts for the rafts the teams then construct their own craft for the race itself.  

The start of the race saw all teams make a dash for pole position with the teams from the 6th and 9th  getting tangled together.  The two other rafts surged forwards to gain advantage of this and then suddenly the team from 3rd Bramshill suffered from a spar pole breaking and their raft disassembled itself.  8th Bramshill then finished the race by half the course ahead of the other teams who helped rescue the stricken crew.

A great afternoon was had by all who attended with the Team from the 8th taking home the trophy this year.
