CUBS in Thelwall have enjoyed a silver lining after receiving top awards.

The youngsters from the 6th Warrington, 1st Thelwall Scout Group were given their Chief Scouts Silver Awards from David Mowat, Conservative parliamentary hopeful for Warrington South.

The silver award is the highest a youngster can achieve during their time as a Cub and is only awarded after they have completed all six of the challenge awards in the cubs. This is the only award they can go on to wear on their Scout uniform when they move on.

Anyone interested in joining the group for Beavers, Cubs or Scouts should contact Bob Easby on 263228.
