The Olive Scouts Eid celebrations attracted hundreds.

The day was organised by the Young Leaders and Volunteers led by Mumtaz.

Beavers and Cub Scouts helped to plan activities for the day. Parents contributed to food and gifts with a range of activities taking part including raffles, biscuit decorating, Islamic dress up, Arabic calligraphy and face painting.

A spokesman said: “A big thank you to all parents, children and most of all all the volunteers who helped organise the day.
“The day was a great success and leaders were presented with a gift each from one of our parents for all their hard work.”

The group hosted its first Scouts sleepover on Saturday July 8, which was a huge success.
