Cubs and Beavers from Inverkip and Wemyss Bay were part of the 479 young people from across Inverclyde who joined in the District Fun Day at Everton.
 
They took part in a range of activities including circus skills/sumo suits/slippy slide and had a chance to try out the new Zorb Ball and Low ropes course!
 
The sun shone for our last outing of the session.  Have a great summer and we will see you all in September.
