District Success in County Scout Shooting Competition

The annual County Scout Shooting Competition was held at the 1st Taverham Scout HQ on Saturday 7th October when 13 teams from 7 Districts took part. Despite cold wet weather, the spirit of the scouts were high and they completed keenly in four disciplines – rifle standing, rifle kneeling, rifle prone and pistols. The 8 scouts who represented Northern Norwich District did well with the two teams finishing first and second in the competition.

The results were:
1st     Northern Norwich “1”       1084
2nd   Northern Norwich “2”         907
3rd    North East Norfolk “1”        876

Arianna Stanton (1st Horsford & St Faiths) was the winner in the highest individual score competition with a score of 375, while two other scouts from the District, Joel Starling (1st Horsford & St Faiths) finished 4th with a score of 298, while William Dingle (11th Norwich) was fifth with a score of 261.

All the scouts shot really well.  The highest positioned scorers in the four disciplines were:

Rifle (Kneeling)
1st       Joel Starling          101
