SCOUTS from Derbyshire took part in the Rampage adventure at Drum Hill Scout campsite.
Twenty-four teams of girls and boys from across the county entered the competition, with teams of six Scouts taking on eight challenges.
The bases at the camp included abseiling and climbing; a space hopper relay; target shooting; fire-lighting and boiling water; mountain biking, cannon relay (as seen at the Edinburgh Tattoo); circus skills and pioneering.
Derbyshire County Commissioner Tom Stoddart was present to award trophies and certificates.
He was particularly pleased to see so many volunteers – nearly 50 on the day – helping to run the activities.
One Scout was overheard saying: "We might not be doing very well on the bases but we're having a brilliant time and haven't stopped smiling all the way round."
A team of girls were delighted to tell their leaders: "We beat the boys at pioneering!"
Overall winners of the competition were Biggin and Hartington, who clocked up and impressive 648 points.
The runners-up in the competition were 3rd Buxton followed by 1st Chapel-en-le-Frith.
All the teams were fantastic and put in lots of effort to make it a very rewarding day.
Scouting offers challenges and adventure to girls and boys throughout the county with Beavers aged six to eight years; Cubs eight to ten-and-a-half; Scouts are ten-and-a-half to 14; Explorers are 14-18. There is also Scout Network, which is for adults aged over 18 who wish to carry on their Scouting activities without taking on the responsibility of a leadership role.
