SEVEN of the highest awards a cub scout can achieve were handed out in one night at a scout pack in Salisbury. 

The 10th Salisbury Cub Scout Pack recently celebrated seven Silver Awards. 

This is the first time in the pack’s history that they have gained seven awards at the same time.

A spokesman said: "The Cubs have worked very hard to gain these awards due to the Covid-19 pandemic and not being able to work in the school hall.

Their awards were presented by Mr C. Russell C.S.L.
