YOUNG scout squirrels from a Skipton pack are celebrating having earned all their section badges.

The four members of 3rd Skipton Squirrels were awarded certificates and badges by District Commissioner Andy Stronach, to commemorate their achievement.

One of the leaders, Colleen Metcalfe, said: " Henry, Jacob, Elliot and Dylan have been with us at 3rd Squirrels since we opened in September 2022 and have worked really hard on all their badges. We will miss them very much as they now move up to Beavers to continue their scouting journey."

Squirrel scouts were introduced by the Scout Association in 2021 and is for children from four to six years old.
