Zebbug scouts place second in European competition

A Zebbug Scout Group patrol led by Tonio Axisa and Carmen Spiteri, placed second in the 2009 edition of Lands of Adventure (LoA) Day, an online competition based on the popular game Cluedo. This was the first time ever that Malta was represented in the European Scout Region Youth programme that this year was held during the weekend between February 28 and March 1 and attracted 75 patrols involving 500 scouts from Malta, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Turkey, and Macedonia.

In the competition, the scouts had to undertake three tasks sent via e-mail by the European Scout Office in Geneva to the scouts gathered at their respective headquarters, and after the completing each task they were e-mailed a clue with which they had to solve a mystery.

All the tasks undertaken by the 75 patrols were subsequently uploaded on the LoA website www.loaday.landsofadventure.eu and the participants voted for the best three patrols.
