The annual Lowestoft and District Scout archery and rifle shooting competitions were held at recently refurbished facilities.

The venue, belonging to the 14th Lowestoft Scout Group, received a makeover thanks to a donation from a former scout, Robert Scrivener.

Julian Grant, the group lead volunteer, took charge of the project, with help from the group's leadership team.

Teams from the 1st Blundeston, 1st Carlton Colville, 2nd Carlton Colville, and 14th Lowestoft group competed in the events.

The highest individual score went to Lily Cambridge from 14th Lowestoft, with 79 points.
