The enterprising youngsters of 1st Falkirk Scouts are back in fundraising action to help five of their troop attend the World Scout Jamboree in Poland in 2027.

Taking place every four years, the event brings together 43,000 Scouts from all over the world – including the 1st Falkirk team of Blair Hamilton, Murray Herriot, Finlay Hunter, Alexander Marjoribanks and Charlotte Rankine.

The Falkirk High School pupils, along with Dollar Academy’s Finlay, have been organising and taking part in all kinds of fundraising activities to help pay for their once in a lifetime trip and deserve a pat on the back for their latest initiative, which promises to be an “udder night” success .

The scouts’ Cow Race night takes place on Saturday, September 26 at the Falkirk Scout Hall in The Pleasance and boasts a fully licensed bar and tasty scran from the one and only Zaccarelli’s.

Jennifer Marjoribanks – scout Alexander’s mum, said: “ This is going to be a brilliant fun family event. The owner of Zaccarelli’s has generously offered his time for free to cook on the night to support the cause which is amazing.

"We would love as many people to come along to support our wonderful youngsters.”

As well as betting on the cows, there will be the opportunity to volunteer to jockey a cow on the night.

People can e-mail [email protected] to book tickets for the event and, if they cannot make it along on the night, they can support the event by sponsoring a cow or race if they e-mail for more details.
