The Scout Troop takes the Highlander Challenge (Area TRASH Trophy) home!

During June 2002, Inverness Area Scout Council ran an inter-troop event, the TRASH Trophy (TRASH stood for Totally Riotous Area Scout Happening!), called 'Highlander - the Challenge'. The event was attended by most local Scout troops, who all fought hard for the coveted trophy!

The Challenge was a series of inter-troop games around the theme of the Highland Clearances, and included games where troops had to defend their 'sheep' (leaders!) from opposing troops (clans), build their clachans (defences) and even rescue their fair maidens from the tower!

In the end, though, the Clan Crown fought the hardest to win the trophy. The day was a great success, and all the Scouts from the participating troops received a souvenir badge to show their involvement in the greatest battle since Culloden!
