title	The Eye Scouts Duck Race, The Pennings, Eye, Suffolk - 24th September 2016
intro	Fred's Beaver pack are involved in the annual Duck Race, down on the river at The Pennings just outside Eye. The objective is to unleash a pile of numbered plastic ducks, with the first across the finish line being the winner. At least this year the ducks actually head downstream: the river is not exactly the raging rapids of the Zambesi in full flow, and in some years a gentle mis-directed breeze has been enough to blow the ducks up the river the wrong way.
