Cubs inspired by Rolls-Royce visit

09/04/2008

The 1st East Kilbride Cub Pack recently visited the Rolls-Royce Engine Plant in East Kilbride as part of the Rolls-Royce-sponsored Scientist Badge.

Andreena Linley, the Assistant District Commissioner (Cubs) in East Kilbride said: “I would like to thank the Rolls-Royce Engine Plant in East Kilbride for inviting our Cubs Pack to the factory as part of National Science Week.”

“The Cubs had a fantastic time carrying out experiments using the ‘Science Packs’ which Rolls-Royce so generously sponsored. The Cubs also enjoyed seeing some engines being worked on. I was amazed at some of the extremely good questions they put to the Rolls-Royce personnel, who helped make this a trip they will always remember. If we don't have some scientists in the making we certainly have some budding engineers."

Late last year the Pack visited the Control Tower at Glasgow Airport, as part of their Air Activities Badge. Now they have seen what keeps the planes in the air!
