Scouts beat strong competition from all over the UK to win a national recycling competition.
The Ruislip, Easctote and Northwood Explorers bagged the Wrappers to Riches Collection Contest by gathering 12,454 used biscuit wrappers, to save them from landfill and use them for something else.
The competition is run by biscuit manufacturer McVitie’s and recycling experts Terracycle.
Stephen Plume, the District Explorer Scout Administrator, said: “Ruislip Eastcote Northwood Explorer Scouts are delighted to have won the Wrappers to Riches Collection Contest and want to thank all the local people, particularly the catering and hospitality businesses, who have been saving their used biscuit wrappers for us and helped us to win the contest.”
Their prize was a £125 charity donation and a McVitie’s goodie bag full of biscuits.
