Lisburn Scouts Woodland Team

Today, our Senior Prefects attended leadership training at the Lisburn Scouts Woodland Centre. They learned how to safely lead a range of exciting activities, including archery, tomahawk throwing, and fire lighting.
We can’t wait to see them put their new skills into action as they help lead our Year 8 students through these activities next Tuesday and Wednesday, alongside plenty of other fun team-building challenges.

Fancy joining our team of Volunteers? 😊
