Eastbourne Scouts firewalking raises $17,000+ for charities.

"We had a great day on Saturday with the attempt at the World Fire walking record. Around 700 people took part including about 50 scouts and cubs from Eastbourne. I was amazing to see so many people at the event. We think over all there was well over 1000 people there, It was a great opportunity for the Eastbourne Scout group and Scouting in general." says Luke Paardekooper

This link to The Hutt News sums up the spirit during the day.
