MALPAS Cubs are celebrating a double triumph.

The boys are the district swimming champions following a gala – and followed that up with victory in the district fieldcraft competition.

Cub Scout leader Sue Darlington said: “The team swam individual and relay races against other packs from the Chester area, eventually winning the overall trophy for only the second time.

“Three of the team swam well enough to been selected to represent Chester District at the County Gala next month.”

The following Sunday six more cubs met at the Farndon Scouts HQ to challenge for the Totem Pole Trophy.

Sue said: “It’s a test of skills including mapping, tracking, safety, knots and circuits.
