Over night 18-19 June a motley band of scouts, explorer scouts and leaders will hike over night from Ely Cathedral to their HQ in Cambridge. Setting off at sun set they will aim to complete the 28KM by sun rise the next day.

The whole thing is in aid of SOS Children's Villages, wonderful people who do amazing thing for orphans across the world. In particular we are raising money for their project in Free Town Sierra Leone (home of our friends at 96th Free Town scout group) which provides a home for may orphans in the world's 4th poorest country.

You can read more about the work of SOS Childrens Villages by clicking on their logo below.

This is a case of young people helping other young people so please give generously for a fantastic cause
