Beaver Scouts from Thurso and Reay combined forces to take part in a litter pick around the 2nd Thurso Scout Hall, St Anne’s Church and Viewfirth last weekend.

The activity formed part of the Beaver Scout community badge, and the group hosted a visit by Alexander Glasgow, who was representing Thurso in Colour. The activity also highlighted Keep Scotland Beautiful’s Spring Clean Scotland campaign which runs to April 21.

Following the litter collection all Beavers received their community badge – including Alexander, who said he was very proud to be awarded this recognition.

Beaver leader Ian Pearson said: “The Beavers were eager to help the local community and keen to collect litter. At first, I thought there wouldn’t be much but the Beavers soon collected nearly two bin bags full in 30 minutes.”
