The Group's 2004 Day Out at Deep Sea World, North Queensferry

During a Group parents' meeting early 2004, it was decided that the members of the Group's training sections would have a day out together. After further discussion, agreement was made that we would visit the Deep Sea World attraction at North Queensferry, Fife.

Arrangements were made with Deep Sea World, a coach was booked and information was issued to all the Group's families. Very quickly, all 49 places were reserved by Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, leaders and additional family members. On Saturday 12 June, we were off!

During the visit, the members went behind the scenes at the Centre to see how the staff looked after sick and new-born fish. They also toured many displays and fish tanks that contained rare and dangerous fish and reptiles. Some Cubs even got to hold a real snake!

On the way home, we stopped at McDonalds in Perth for dinner. Luckily we had 'phoned our order on the way, which reduced waiting time considerably. Very soon everyone was tucking into their burgers and chips. Some even continued the fishy theme by having a Filet-O-Fish!
