“The experience was supported by a selection of leaders from the district’s seven groups, helping explore various communication-related activities.
“This was our third opportunity to be involved in this fascinating, challenging and rewarding event, with some enrolling to take their licence.”
Those who took part were awarded a UK JOTA-JOTI participation badge for their camp blankets.
