Scouts from across South Yorkshire had their fun mapped out when they took part in an orienteering challenge led by Barnsley not-for-profit Team Activ. Team Activ, which provides sport opportunities to schools, businesses and communities, had been asked to run an orienteering challenge at the recent Scoutastic event at Don Valley Stadium.
A total of 2000 people attended the day-long event taking part in 75 different activities. An incredible 650 people tested their orienteering skills on a specially designed course at the mothballed venue.
The terms second orienteering event took place at Cannon Hall on Friday 10th May. The event was for Year 3 & 4 children and gave them an excellent venue to try orienteering if they hadn't already done so. Children took part in the event in groups of up to 4 children and took part as either boys, girls or mixed teams. It was great to see the children working together as a group and having to make decisions as to how to get round the course in the quickest time.

What a wonderful day of cricket we have seen at Shaw Lane today. 13 teams entered the Year 3/4 2013 Drax cup, and competed magnificently for the 2 places up for grabs to go through to the South Yorkshire Finals. The teams were split up into three groups playing in a round robin format of Kwik cricket, and from the first over 4’s and 6’s were being hit to all parts of the Shaw Lane outfield.
