Pet Photo Competition

Over the last fortnight our Scouts have been taking photos of their pets for our lockdown pet photo competition. It all came about when lots of the Scouts had pets walk through the shot during our first online meeting!

We have some judges busily working way on looking through the pictures. But you at home can play too! In the comments at the bottom of the page just put the number from the caption of the photograph you want to win our peoples' choice prize.

Entries close 11pm New Zealand Time on Wednesday 22 April 2020. The winner and prize will be announced during our Troop online meeting on Thursday 23 April and posted online shortly after that.

Happy voting (click on each image to make it bigger)!
