Cubs turned scrap into urban masterpieces at a Salisbury district competition.

On Saturday, November 23, the Salisbury District Cubs held the Scrap Heap Challenge at their district headquarters, Dennis Marsh House in Westminster Road.

The competition involved using recyclable materials to create a construction based on the randomly chosen theme of 'City.'

Eight cub packs, including the 4th Salisbury (Harnham), 8th Salisbury, 14th Salisbury, 1st Laverstock, 1st Wilton, Bourne Valley, 1st Amesbury and 1st Boscombe Down, took part in the event.
