The 71st Ayrshire Skelmorlie Cubs summer trip was once more a exhilarating week of fun activities, camaraderie and excitement.

Always eagerly anticipated, the summer cub pack holiday to Hesleywood in Sheffield was a great success.

From climbing fun to rollercoaster rides, there was certainly plenty of thrills and spills for everyone.

And ever forward thinking, the cubs even hosted their very own Olympic-inspired opening ceremony and games before a few camp fire songs to keep everyone entertained.

A visit to the National Railway Museum  in York was followed by a wander through the city to The Castle Museum.

And as another fantastic week came to an end,  it was hearty congratulations and well done to the Yellow six for winning the pack holiday trophy, pictured above.

If these photos are anything to go by, everyone had a brilliant time.
