1st Kirton Scouts had an exciting day at Landguard Fort on Saturday 12th October, along with many other Scouts, Explorers and leaders from Orwell District when Bear Grylls, the Chief Scout, called in to visit as part of the “Bear in the Air” tour for the East of England.

Bear’s helicopter landed at Langer Primary Academy and he, and his family, were transported the short distance to Landguard Fort in a fire truck.

There are more photos in our gallery and a report and photos on the Orwell District Scouts website.
