A total of 91 Scouts took part in a competitive hike commemorating a special anniversary.

115 years ago, the worlds first official Scout Camp was held at Carr Edge, near Fourstones.

A camp, held the year previously at Brownsea Island, was dubbed experimental as there was no Scouts or Scout movement at the time.

The camp at Carr Edge became known as the Lookwide Camp after one of the addresses given there by Baden-Powell, which contained the inspirational words: "Look wide, beyond your immediate surroundings and limits, and you see things in their right proportion.

"Look above the level of things around you and see a higher aim and possibility to your work."

A cairn was erected by the then 3rd Hexham Scout Group, now 1st Hexham, and has been visited by several of the UK's Chief Scouts since Baden-Powell.

Hadrian District Scouts marked the anniversary with their annual night hike competition on October 13, with participants visiting the cairn erected at the original campsite.

The Scouts, from various troops across the district, navigated a 5km circular route starting and finishing at different checkpoints.

There were also tasks at each stop designed to test their Scouting knowledge and skills, including first aid and putting all 10 Chief Scouts in chronological order.

The quickest group to complete the route, taking the Ken Pyle Shield, was Corbridge, clocking in at the one hour 49 minutes mark, closely followed by Prudhoe 1 and Barrasford 1.

The Alan Chapman Trophy for the highest score went to Prudhoe 1, with a total of 67.5 points, followed by Wylam 2 (64 points) and Barrasford 1 (63.5 points).

Upon finishing the challenge, Scouts returned to the Lookwide Centre in Hexham to receive a commemorative badge, certificates, soup and hot dogs.
