Soap Box Derby

Newport's scout section were out in October competing in a "traditional" soap box Derby and attracting coach loads of spectators who found us more entertaining than the roman remains!

A glorious day resulting in five teams enrolling their home made soap box racing carts for a hard morning of pushing and driving in a series of gruelling races including sprints, relays, obstacle course to test steering and a Le Mans style "4 min" endurance race.

After all the points were totalled a very happy and tired team from 1st Marshfield claimed victory.


Congratulations to all who took part in another great Scouting event.
