BRILLIANT NEWS!  Guinness World Records have verified that we have broken both World Records.
CONGRATULATIONS – You are all World Record breakers and part of something really special!

The 9th Bracknell Scout Group joined in with the Giant Sleepover on June 17th and 18th 2006.

With 23 Beavers, 30 Cubs, 9 Scouts, 2 Explorers and 17 Leaders / Helpers from the 9th Bracknell Scout Group to break two world records.

Well done Record Breakers, you can see yourselves on our slide show story of what we got up to by clicking HERE (broadband required). This a very small sample of the photo's we have received so far.

Please give the slide show time to load as there are rather a lot of photo's, we will be putting a disk together with ALL the photo's on and this slide show in the next couple of weeks, if you would like a copy ( charge to be decided ) please let your Leaders know.

Leaders, please let Trevor know how many disks your section requires.
