Following on from our first “Big 10 Challenge” in 2017 this has now become an annual event (apart from during Covid). The challenge is to walk 10 miles in one day, made easier by a circular walk around Norland Moor, with each circuit being 2½ miles long. This way, if any needed to drop out they could do so at the end of a circuit and we would never be more than a mile from the base.

It has also become a sponsored hike raising money for others. So far we have raised money for a project I work on with children in Uganda and for Happy Days. This year we asked the Cubs what they wanted to raise money for and after much discussion and a vote they chose children in Ukraine.

On the day, 14 Cubs, leaders and parents met at Norland and all completed the challenge and raised £640 which was sent to Unicef for their work with children in Ukraine.
