This weekend a group of scouts camped out in the railway field at Toddy. On Friday night Chris Stockman took them on a eight mile night hike and they all arrived back at Toddy shattered at midnight.

Saturday saw them working in the north head shunt clearing vegetation. One old lady was heard to say that she saw a load of children with saws and knives and should someone tell the staff about it ? That evening the scouts used fire extinguishers to put out oil fires and the pictures look wicked! Again a lot of tired scouts went to bed happy that night.

Sunday saw a group of cubs also attend the railway and they also used fire extinguishers and the scouts were introduced to the joy of hose running and using high pressure hoses from the rear of a fire engine. Needless to say Chris got very wet. The scouts and cubs had a great time and wish to thank the railway for having them.
