On Saturday, October 20 the 5th Ilkley Brownies took part in the Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need.

The successful walk has raised £500 for the charity, and the unit is looking to turn it into an annual event, opening up the opportunity for other Brownies, Rainbows, Guides and Rangers to join them in the future.

Ally Forster, leader of 5th Ilkley, successfully achieved her level 2 walking qualification whilst leading this walk which means she is permitted to take young people into more difficult terrain for more adventurous expeditions.
