On the 28th August, Cabot teamed up with Brunel district (our neighbours on the the other side of the Gloucester Road) to host a recruitment day at Blaise Castle Park.  We brought the association's mobile display unit to Bristol for the day, and talked to hundreds of people, generating dome fantastic positive images of Scouting, and certainly picking up a few new members along the way.  Many thanks to everyone who came along and helped to make the day a success.  You can see some photos of the day courtesy of Brunel district here (external site).
