Friday, 2.32pm - BROKEN rafts and soaking wet scouts were par for the course at the annual scouting boating gala at Skegness boating lake.
Seven groups of scouts and sea scouts from the area took part in the event and raised £278.90 for the Samanathan Orphanage in Sri Lanka.
Sylvia Myers, scout leader of 1st Skegness Scouts, said: "It went really well. The parents say it is the funniest night of the year!
"One raft disintegrated completely. It's just madness, they absolutely loved it."
Skegness Sea Scouts won the gala and Spilsby Scouts won the best raft, keeping up their unbeaten record.
1st Skegness Scouts were third in the gala and the Burgh le Marsh group came second
