The Commissioner’s Flag is an annual event as the last competition before the summer break.
This year was based on a theme of ‘Geocaching’, in effect a modern version of the hidden treasure map.
Packs from all over the district took part but the winners of the competition were the 4th Blackpool Cubs based @TheGrange Hub in Grange Park.
