Tonight at Scouts we went to a local Scout HQ to do climbing. The group received lottery funding several years ago and were able to purchase an old church next to their HQ and repurpose it - completed last November is a beautiful climbing wall! We have Scouts who really enjoy and embrace this kind of activity, and we have others who have previously been vocal about their fear of heights. Some of those who really don't like heights made attempting to climb to the top a Personal Challenge, and I'm really happy to say that those achieved that tonight - they didn't need to get to the top, it was their attitude towards the challenge and exceeding their expectations of themselves that earned it. I had a go, I'm really not comfortable with heights. I made it a little less than half way before bailing - but that was far better than the last time I was on a climbing wall around 25 years ago. #ScoutingUK
