The 2007 Waterford Scout County Challenge Weekend was an enormous success and in total 15 Patrols took part in the event which was held at the Rathgormack Hiking Centre and on the Knockanaffrin Ridge in Co. Waterford. The theme was BLACK HAWK DOWN and activities included lightweight camping, emergencies and navigation.  The video logs that were prepared on the weekend are hosted on Youtube and are available with a selection of photos on our County Challenge 2007 Gallery page. Well done to Tramore who took the prize for having the maddest scout troop and scooped a new Vango Hydra tent from Altitude for their troubles.  The overall results were: 1st: Mogadishu Giants - St Pauls; 2nd: Somalian Warlords - St Pauls; 3rd: The Gomaluckaz - 26th Ferrybank; 4th: The Squawks - 7th DLS; 5th: Mc Mahon Maniacs -  15th Sacred Heart; 6th: The Pirates - 4th Abbeyside.
