Ethelbert centre’s fun-filled month of June

ETHELBERT Child and Youth Centre had a busy and exciting month of June. The children have been involved with fun and energetic activities and events, as well as studying for their mid-year exams. Most of them will be going out for the school holidays to family or host families. For those children who do not have a holiday placement, they will be going to the home’s cottage in Park Rynie.

On Friday, 5 June, the Ethelbert Scouts took part in the annual Scout Botanic Garden’s Sleepover. They spent the evening learning about geo-catching. After the fun and energetic games at the gardens, the scouts slept snugly in their tents.
